Prologue

I knew I would have to return eventually. The question was – When?

It would hurt them as it would hurt me. Who would it hurt more? Them. Definitely them.

I knew what they did not. It was safer that way.

Until my return, I would have to do my best. I would leave without them being any the wiser.

The pain that was caused by this would surely tear me to pieces.

I only had one more question – Would they ever forgive me for it?
