Dawn’s head snapped upright as a hand struck the table mere inches from her ear. She yelped and forced her eyes into focus.
“We’re running out of time, Dawn. I won’t stand for this!”
Dawn looked at Wesley’s haggard, unshaven face. His eyes were bloodshot, his mouth tight with fury.
She swallowed down the hot tears that were threatening to erupt. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. “I tried, Wesley, but I’m so tired. I can’t do this. We’re not getting anywhere. Maybe it’s just my time.” No longer could she hold back the sobs and tears that shook her exhausted body.
Wesley took her wet, reddened face into his hands and brushed the tears from her cheeks. His gentle touch defied the cold fury of his eyes.
“Dawn, I am sorry. But I can’t lose you.” He glared at her fiercely. “You can’t leave me. You will not leave me. Is that understood?”
Dawn saw the fear and the love behind that determined stare. He was just as tired and aggravated and terrified as she was. She had to find the answers, for his sake as well as hers.
She nodded and resumed her research.
Don't make him angry, you wouldn't like him if he was angry!
