Chapter 29

He almost forget that he was ready to bring hell on earth for what she did. The tiredness and the exhaustion and the fear had him worried almost immediately, putting her wellbeing first he grabbed her by the arm and sat her down at the sofa in the corner of the room. Before she could protest he lifted her legs up and went to get her a glass of water.

He sat next to her, stroking her hair softly, his hands were acting without his will. His action weren't lost on her, she was afraid of his reaction about the news, but now she was more confused. Unable to control herself a tear escaped her eyes. "I am sorry"

If he hadn't been focusing all his attention on her he wouldn't have heard her. The guilt that seemed to control her voice softened his already soft heart. He brushed the tear that ran down her cheeks, which only made the tears flow freely. She looked like a little girl all helpless and alone. He hadn't realized it before, she had lost her mother when she merely three, her sister didn't care and her father was simply not around much. Feeling his chest tightened in response, if he didn't knew any better he would have thought that he was having a heart attack. Pulling her to him he hugged the little girl to him forgetting she was the woman that once upon a time made him and destroyed him.

He saw him stroke her hair in the softest of touches, and then pull her to him tightly and smiled. They were on the road of healing and hopefully together. That's what made his job worth so much. It is the promise of the happy ending that hung in the horizon.
