"We have to talk about what happened earlier. You know that, right?" Simon asked from across the table in their hotel room, the tension not once subsiding throughout the last several hours of the day, the couple barely talking to each other after the altercation.
"What is there to talk about? The fact that I caught some cop doing an unlawful search on Teeter because your ex-girlfriend assumed she was scum off the street and I fucking did something about it?" She scoffed, the additional hormones as well as body aches feeding the fuel to her anger about what happened.
He huffed, defeated as he knew getting into an argument wasn't going to help the situation, but he felt that it still needed to be discussed, "How many times do I need to remind you that you're pregnant? That you can't be doing what you just did without facing consequences?"
"Consequences?" She scoffed, a laugh hiding behind her throat. "What? Just because I'm pregnant by you gives you a say in what I should or shouldn't be doing?"
"In a way, yes," He sighed, setting back in his chair and tapping his leg impatiently, knowing the situation was about to escalate. "Especially when you don't think about it yourself."
"Oh, I do think about it. I'm reminded every fucking day that I'm pregnant, Simon. In case you forgot, I wake up to throw up everything in my stomach, get sick at smelling certain things, suffer through hot flashes, and having constant body aches because I'm getting bigger by the day and have to carry that extra weight around when I feel like my body isn't accommodating. What I did was justified. I was perfectly capable of handling it on my own, but I guess it bothered you to see your ex getting humbled."
"No, that's not it at all," He huffed, picking up on the jealousy she had towards Sarah. If only you knew why we broke things off, love. "This isn't Wyoming. The legal system doesn't take kindly to destruction of property like that. You nearly destroyed that shop."
"And I'll fucking do it again. So, I guess it bothers you more that I destroyed her shop than Teeter being violated like that?"
"I didn't say that. It does bother me that it happened to Teeter, but regardless, you can't just do bloody shit like that."
"I think it does bother you that it turned out to be your ex. Don't know why you left her."
"I'll tell you why: because I didn't want her anymore. What we had was no strings attached. Fucking years ago, Kiera. Long before I even met you. Long before anything that ever happened to me that I told you about. I wasn't interested in anything more than sex. That was it. She wanted more and I didn't want to give it, so I broke things off."
"Is that what you wanted with me?"
"Fucking Christ," He grumbled, wiping a hand over his face, hating the assumption that with the new information Simon had just told her that he wanted the same with Kiera. "No. If it was what I wanted, I never would've gone home with you for Thanksgiving, never would've let you see my face, never would've invited you to a ball, never would've fucking put a ring on your hand. What part of you changed me did you not understand, love?"
