Narcissa wiggled her nose at the sight of the cobwebs that hung all around the attic. She took at her wand and muttered the charm to clear them. "Couldn't you have done that before you decided to sit up here and pout?"
James ignored her.
She sighed. "Don't push me away."
He faced her, hazel eyes blazing with emotion. "Push you away!? You just told me you don't want to have kids, and all I want is a family. If I had known you weren't interested in being a mother, I wouldn't have—" he abruptly stopped, shocked at what he was about to say.
Narcissa felt herself go cold all over. "What? You wouldn't have married me? You would have chosen Evans over me?"
He looked away and quietly admitted, "Maybe. I want to be a dad. And the fact that you don't... I'm not sure if I'm okay with never having children."
"So, what are you saying? You want to walk away from me? From our love?" she demanded harshly.
He looked at her again. "Maybe," he whispered.
They stared at each other, at an impasse. What were they going to do now?
