Lavender arched a brow, nodding her head back in surprise at Katie's sudden outburst. "Ah... well I did mention to Cormac already that I was through with men. At least until I'm forty, when I kids are grown up." She thought made sense to her, though he didn't believe her much.
"It's not fair on Tru and Mal knows it. But Mal can't help it if he doesn't want to be with me anymore either. This is why I didn't want to get involved with him in the first place. All my fears are coming true." She bit her bottom lip trying to stop herself from crying again. She was praying that Malachi would come back, but as each day past, she was losing faith.
