tongue, I melt into him letting go of my worry and falling into him.
    My top is the next thing removed and tossed up into the air, and shortly after my bra follows. Our bare chests brush against one another with each passionate kiss and my hips keep bucking up to meet his. A strong sensation blossoms down under that needs to be released.
    Is this right? I’ve barely been divorced a month, in town for three days, and I’m preg…
    “What’s wrong?” Clancy huffs out trying to catch some air while wiping away the hair from his forehead.
    “I want this. I really do, Clancy. It’s just…”
    He plants the hand that was just brushing away his gorgeous blond hair on the side of my head, raising himself a bit higher from me with a defeated look blanketing his face. It’s more than defeated and more like shattered.
    I reach up and cup each side of his face with my hands and watch even more heartbreak wash over him.
    “It’s not you or…” I don’t know what to say or even begin to explain how I feel or my circumstances.
    “Bullshit, Blanche, it’s because I’m Clancy Bogart who has one nut and is your little brother’s best friend. Beaver Fall’s most unwanted bachelor because he’s been an idiot for years waiting on something that will never happen.” He’s standing by the time he speaks his last word and staring out of the large bay window over looking a green meadow. He stands there for several minutes with his back to me and his hands laced through the back of his hair.
    Each one of his words just shattered my heart. If I hadn’t been Blanche Morningwood with her blinders on set for L.A. back in the day, maybe I would’ve seen Clancy for what he was instead of who he wasn’t. Nope, I thought I was too good for this shit hole and destined for bigger and better things. When in reality a life here in Beaver Falls is something L.A. couldn’t even begin to offer me. Tears roll down my cheeks when I pull my shirt over my head and fight to adjust it back into place.
    My palm brushes over my swollen belly and more tears escape. Using the backs of my hands, I do my best to wipe them away, so Clancy won’t see them, but when I look up he’s in the same position.
    “Clancy, please let me explain.”
    “No need, Blanche, I know the story all too well.”
    “I’ve hurt so many people in the past and was a shit person for not staying in contact over the last years.”
    “Ten. Ten years, Blanche.”
    I ignore the sting of his correction and continue on. “Then I come back home and have to face it.”
    “Blanche.” Clancy whirls around yelling my name. “I get it. Okay, I fucking get it. I’m not good enough for you and never will be. You’re the hometown pride, pretty girl and none of that equals a life with me.”
    Tears have morphed into sobs, but I do my best to control them and take a step forward in my new life. The life where I have to wear big girl Blanche shoes and panties every single day, facing fears and conquering feats all on my own while being a good mother.
    “I’m pregnant, Clancy, so the fact is I’m not good enough for you. I’d give anything to love you and wake up being loved by you, but life has a funny way of telling me no.” I drop my head and stare at the deep cherry red wood floor he’s placed to perfection.
    Once outside the cool breeze tingles the wet tears streaming down my face. I begin walking down the long dirt road that leads back to town and know that I just opened a whole new can of worms telling him that I’m pregnant, but I didn’t want him to ever think he wasn’t good enough for me, in fact the reality is he’s too good for me.
    My boobs bounce up and down in a steady rhythm with each step. Loud thundering footsteps stop me in my tracks and it takes every single ounce of willpower I have, not to turn around. I want it to be Clancy, but just know it’s a bear that’s going to tear my flesh from my bones and eat me alive to relieve me from this horror
