Lucinda was still trying to make sense of the situation when Nathan burrowed under the covers and tucked himself in.


    He was acting odd tonight.

    “Stop it, baby.


    Just go to sleep.

    She narrowed her eyes and let out a soft growl.


    “You haven’t even ki*sed me since you returned.

    When he opened his eyes again, there was a look of indifference in them.


    “Lucinda, I… I want to call off our engagement.


    ”


    “What?” Lucinda felt like someone had punched her in the gut.


    “What did you just say?”


    Why the hell was he acting this way?


    She realized then that he had been deliberately avoiding her since he came back.
