 ReJo 2007-05-02 . chapter 1I loved this part:
It had not been a proud moment for either of them. Both had experienced a temporary influx of self-centeredness and lunacy and both were too stubborn to admit it. He had walked on her when he knew she needed him more than ever. Whether or not she said the words out loud shouldn’t have mattered. He had seen it in her eyes- the anguish, the fight to let go and share the pain. He had been selfish- wanting her to tell him what he wanted to hear, needing that verbal reassurance to satisfy is own emotional insecurity. What had terrified him was the realization that he couldn’t fully live with out her. And on the heels of that revelation was the fear that she might be able to live fully without him. Years of being pantsed emotionally had left him more than a little wary and defensive.
And this:
The woman was armed and dangerous; No Glock required. |
