Ocean's Breath Plateau Lifetimes are catching up with me.

A comfortable silence engulfed them. One where he nor she needed say more. A calming balm. His thoughts went to Rolayne. Bless that boy, but he was hurt and angry that he hadn't spoken and yet. His son was young and may honestly not realize.

A soft shudder and his chest tightened. He knew he should seek out a step mother for them amd yet. Gods it felt awful and he could not love a woman the way she deserved right now if ever.

He sighed. I wouldn't right now. And I won't until I can love her properly. No woman deserves to be married to me and the ghost of my wife. And right now that is what it is. Any woman deserves to be treated respectfully, and kindly and she shouldn't have to compete for love and affection. I would not a good husband make right now, if ever again. So i'm not sure the answer, only time will tell.

And it hurt to say that. To talk so soon of moving on. And yet Rodyn was always honest and he tried to be now. He wasn't in a place to share himself with another.
