Emily POV
"What have you done?" I put my chair in front of his, causing my knees to bump against his legs focusing all his attention on my horrified face.
Nathan for his part very calmly also turns around and takes my hands with his putting them in my lap.
"I wanted to hide it from you, but we are in the lord's house and if I lie I feel like I would burn in hellfire" He states somewhat mockingly trying to dispel the seriousness of the situation. Without further ado, he squeezes my hands again and after inhaling, continues: "Since you're going to be my wife I can't hide anything from you so I'll just say it."
I nod but in my mind, I only imagine the worst.
"I couldn't stay still Emi, as much as you wanted me to I just couldn't. It burned me to know that this man was going to go on with his life like it was nothing."
I look at him, I feel inert for several seconds and after the ethereal silence, he speaks again in the middle of such a continuous pause.
