Did he really just say what Hazel thought he did? Will was acting like it was no big deal when the sky was basically crashing down around her. He had a point though. Never did he specifically say he didn't like her.
Why would he tell her this? He knew her feelings on the matter, even if he didn't know why she was stuck on someone long gone. Telling her would only make things weird.
"You're teasing me again," she said finally, giving him an out. He could take back his question if he wanted to.
Will sighed. "Hazel, you're far too suspicious of people. Which answer would put your mind at ease? Do you want me to like you or not? Personally, I think it would be better if we did like each other. We are married, after all."
Did he have to be so blunt about it?! Her poor heart couldn't take it, especially when she was trapped in his embrace.
