He turned to face her with a frown. “Is there someone else?”
“What? No, of course not.” She gave a nervous laugh. “I’ve just had a baby. There’s no time for romance.”
“But there would be if the timing were better?”
“That’s not what I’m saying.”

Disappointment winged through her even though she knew he was right. He couldn’t just pick up and leave at a moment’s notice. “It was just a suggestion.”
