"Situations have happened," he stood, annoyance waning heavy in his voice. He might have been quick to jump the gun on Natalie but he wasn't pleased with her own reaction. It was almost as if she were showering him with it when he'd told her what they both knew to be true. They were no better suited for each other. He was a lot quicker to move on. "I'm moving on that's what I'm doing. There is a world of opportunity."
He sighed again, a much younger man telling her that he wasn't right for this role. "I've never been a family man except to my own mother." He had no idea of how this worked. The younger Baron had never thought of family until the latter years of his life before his death, then of course after he was brought back. This Baron was much older than that and far more arrogant.
