Harper's POV: "I'm serious, Harper... please." Connor kept repeating it and his voice had this desperate edge that made my skin crawl because I'd never heard him sound like this before... never heard him beg for anything in all the years I'd known him. I didn't move from where I was standing. Didn't acknowledge him. I Just stared at Jessica like Connor wasn't even there trying to get my attention. "She said she's not talking to you, Mr. Man." Jessica stepped between us and her voice came out firm and protective. "If you don't leave her now, we'll really need to call the police." Connor's expression changed fast... went from desperate to angry in the space of a heartbeat. "It's none of your business... this is between my wife and I, woman!" His voice got louder and sharper. My wife.
