quickly as possible.
"Bruce, is he going to be there?"
"I don't think so."
"What do you mean you don't think so? You know what? Forget it, call me when you're sure." He told her seriously and he sat in the driver's seat, closed the door, and drove out of the parking garage.
Tears appeared in her eyes as the sound of tires rubbing on cement echoed throughout the garage. She already was sure, but she didn't have the courage to tell him.
She felt empty and broken. With every passing moment, she would feel less and less sure that Nathan had any feelings for her.
Chapter 25
Nathan didn't show up at the farm, but Bruce did. She walked up to him when she recognized his car.
"How's everything?" He asked her.
"Good." She stood next to him. She didn't have the strength to look him in the eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" He grabbed her chin softly and moved her face up to look at him. "You were crying. What happened?"
"I'll be fine." She moved her fingers through her hair annoyingly. She felt awkward about the whole situation.
"You didn't get back to me after some time so I had a feeling I'd find you here."
"I had a lot of work to do." Both of them knew that it was just an excuse for what she was really doing.
"Yea I can see that. You were working with him." He grabbed her arm and walked with her along a path covered in roses.
"You were never as happy with me than you were with him." He said suddenly.
"No, not ..." She started to defend herself but her cheeks turned rosy.
"I'm not stupid, Marie!" He cut her off. "I'm not just talking randomly here. I saw the two of you, him and you happy to be with him." He said, trying hard to understand what was going on.
"I just realized that today."
"That you never forgot him? That you never stopped loving him?"
"Yea. Sorry ..." She started to say with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry about all of this."
"I thought about you for a long time." He said with a smile. "These past few days, after our little talk, you're all I could think about." He straightened out. "I really tried to understand why you were doing what you were doing and I finally think I found the reason."
She looked up at him.
"I think that you have a lot of pride and I think that pride is the main reason behind all of your problems."
"When he came here and I saw him again, I started to get the same feelings I've had before. Finding that out has been weird for me, and uncomfortable to say the least. To be honest, I couldn't believe that after all the years that passed, I still couldn't forget about him." She opened up to him, realizing that he was her friend and that he always will be. "Everything is just so confusing. My whole world turned upside down and I didn't know who I was nor what I want."
"But now you know." He wanted to hear it from her.
"Yea, now I know." She answered.
For some time they continued to walk in total silence. Him with his own thoughts and her with her own. Bruce needed that time to think about all that was said. He heard from her own mouth what he already knew but was afraid of and now he needed some time to get over it.
"Today your father came into my office to check up on the new shipments. He was ecstatic when I showed him all the new customers we got." He
"Bruce, is he going to be there?"
