Chapter 03
~ SCORPION ~
Unlike the first two pictures, the third page was a small journal entry his wife had saved from so many years ago, detailing the first time they had had an intimate encounter. He could remember the heat of the flames as if it was yesterday. They were surrounded by fire and weren't certain of survival. Out of need, he had reached for her hand, and she reciprocated. The encounter didn't seem like much, but it spoke volumes for both of them. For the first time in Walter's life, he felt a sense of accomplishment and realized a romantic life with Paige was possible. Never once did he consider a beautiful woman like Paige ever wanting to be with him, but her wrapping her hand around his gave him hope.
We almost died today… again, but for some reason, everything seemed different. Death was like a shadow looming over us as the fire and smoke surrounded us. I would be foolish to admit I wasn't scared…. I was scared out of my mind, but there's no way I was going to let the others know. I had to stay strong. But even in those moments, I felt my strength fleeing from me…. Had it not been for Walter reaching over to touch my hand, I don't know what I would have done. The way his knuckles touched mine brought me a strange amount of strength, and I didn't want that feeling to go away. Our eyes didn't leave one another as I wrapped my fingers around his… For some reason, I needed his proximity. I needed his comfort. Perhaps… perhaps I felt more at ease standing next to him and holding his hand because I'm in love with him. I don't know, but hopefully someday, I'll find out.
And oh, did they find out.
They spent many wonderful years together as a family, but Walter wished he could have had more time with her. All he wanted was more time… More time to tell her he loved her… more time to kiss her and hold her and love her. God, he loved her like no other….
Each day he spent alone was another day of heartache. The pain was almost too bearable, but he keeps fighting… keeps living… because she asked him to live a long life and watch over their family. It was easier said than done, but he heeded her request… no matter how much it hurt to be alone.
