Companion to 'When It Rains'
He's explained it all to her- the phasing, the anger, the way she would have to keep it under control. He filled her in on everything, making everything better- just like he always had. But there's one thing still nagging at her mind, one question he hadn't answered.
"Why didn't you tell me?" She whispered, and Sam had spent enough time with Leah that he knew what she was talking about automatically.
"I couldn't. You can't tell anybody, Leah."
"You could have told me, Sam. I would have still loved you."
He looked at her sadly, crossing the room and cupping her face in his palms just like he had so long ago, but this time her skin was so hot she felt hardly any heat from his touch at all.
"I know. That was the problem, Leah."
Leah turned away. She waited a long time for Sam to say something, until she finally realised he was gone.
