Promises are my business
Pleasure is my business season 4/16
I watched as the life left her eyes and slowly began to leave her body. Her hand was so small and cold engulfed in my palm. My mind replayed the brief conversation….
And the promise I made to her and fulfilled and past promises I'd made to others and failed to fulfill.
I felt like a liar. For some reason wish I could have told her about Hailey and Jack. A confession of how I'd failed them and disappointed them over and over. That I had neglected them for the greater good, making the world a little safer and bringing justice to those who had suffered tragedies at the hands of others.
I wanted her to tell me I wasn't a bad father, or a bad husband; that I hadn't failed them all these years.
Megan may have been an adult but her heart was still that of a little girl, a daughter disappointed by the one man who should never disappoint his children and wife.
I was a husband. I am a father.
I promised Megan I'd stay with her. I didn't let her down.
I wasn't in her life long enough.
