HARD TRUTH

Maxwell could hear Shirley tossing and turning about on her bed. Guilt washed over him as he listened from the his room which was across hers.

Shirley had been right, it was her father that had put him up to propose to her but he hadn't used anything against him like she had thought, not exactly. He had only revealed something about her to him and proposing to her had been the only way he could think of to protect her.

Drawing a sharp breath, Shirley got out of bed and made her way out of the room. She took light steps to the kitchen and moved straight to the refrigerator. She took out a cup of ice cream from it, settled down on a chair in the kitchen and started to eat it as a million thoughts played in her head.

"Can't sleep?" his voice made her jump, and then turn towards him.

"You startled me!" she complained, putting her spoon on the table and standing up.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean to," he said. She didn't say anything but look at him, and then she averted her gaze from him
