No, let’s not, Lorcan thought but did not say, because he had just enough of a sprinkling of self-control not to make a disconcerting situation that much worse. He didn’t expect pregnancy would improve her looks, exactly, but... that was hardly the most worrying thing about all this?
If Lorcan had been a more useful human being, he might have started looking ahead to solve some of the problems he (even he!) could already foresee. As it was - it was a lot to take in, okay? - Maggie’s comment about tomorrow felt like the perfect excuse to leave all that off. Might as well pretend everything was fine and dandy until dinner was done.
The problems could wait until tomorrow.
