Maybe because I want you to see that things have really changed, Aric. I want you to see what's changed. So you know that I'm not going to turn on you.

[ When it comes down to it, sometimes Aric isn’t sure that he is holding on to his suspicion only out of habit or because he truly still thinks she is going to betray him. And he’s not sure how he can ever really know the difference or why it is so important to her. ]

How do you think you can do so?

[Him not knowing her as he should hurt. Something that she didn't particularly like about this place. She wished that there was an easier way to do this.]

I'm not sure how I can do this. All I can give you, Aric, is the memories I have of us. Of the things that we've done.

How am I supposed to believe they are real and not some trick of yours? It would not be the first time.

If I wanted to trick you, I'd of done something already to show that I was the conniving bitch you remember. But I'm not Aric.

[It still hurt and she's not too entirely sure how to show him she wasn't that woman that he remembered.]

I'm not my past lives. If I was you'd of never allowed me into your bed.

I have allowed you close many times and you always have a plan to betray me, Empress. It could be that here you are simply playing a long game for reasons that are unclear to me.

[ In all honesty, maybe he’s just a little scared that she could be right. ]

Evie.

[It's a correction that she has to make because she doesn't want to be called the Empress.]

And I'm not playing a long game. Why would I when I'm pregnant with your child? When I've spent time with you in your study. Been in places no one else has been in. Lark doesn't even hunt me down.

[ Evie is far too personal, too intimate but Aric relents and he'll meet her half-way for once. ]

Evangeline.

[ She can take the truce on the matter or not. ]

How could you be pregnant with my child? [ He frowns at the idea of her being in his study, he didn't really allow anyone in his study. It was full of all the things that were most important to him after all. He narrows his eyes. ]

There's no proof for any of this but what you say.

[It was better than nothing and she'd take what she could.]

I wouldn't of found out if not for you.

Found out about what?

That I was pregnant.

And how did that happen?

[ He's still not sure he believes the whole pregnant story. ]

What do you mean how did that happen?

What do you think I mean?

And I'm not playing word games, Aric. So, please, what do you mean by that.

I asked exactly what I meant.

I told you that we got close, Aric.

Why would either of us ever allow a child to be conceived in the middle of the game? That is ludicrous even if the other things you have said are true.
