ScarlettPOV I hadn’t expected him to regret his entire life just because he’d been massaging my head. When the doctor arrived, he examined me and prescribed the right medication. He also explained that the painkillers wouldn’t work immediately. Jaxen looked even more troubled after hearing that. My head was still pounding, but watching his expression gave me something else to focus on. Before I’d fallen asleep, he’d been trying to steer the conversation back toward getting married again. Now, he’d completely changed direction. Instead of talking about our future, he was reflecting on his own mistakes, convinced he wasn’t doing a good enough job as my partner, and that was why I didn’t want to accept the responsibilities of marriage or love him. Honestly, I liked this topic a lot
