"You'd leave?" he asks, meeting that furious gaze.

"I don't understand you," Nathaniel whispers, falling back against the dresser, leaning against the solid piece. "It's not me that expects the worst out of you, Asher, it's you expecting the worst out of me." He looks at Asher again. "How long will you keep waiting for me to just... walk away? Do you even believe I love you?"
