Stay

Chapter 56

(You in mother bear mode is a force of nature. I was really reminded by that during this situation. You give you're whole heart and soul to the people you love and care about.)

(I couldn't be more thankful every day you are the mom of our kids.)

(I thought there was something worth saving and believing in. But I was wrong. Regarding Peyton. Letting her have any access back into my life has been a mistake.) Lucas revealed.

(Cut her off. How involved could she be at this point.?) Brooke asked.

Lucas thought back to him telling her she loved him.

(Are you going back to the store or home.?) Lucas asked

(I can't think of focus on work. I just need a minute to decompress.) Brooke said.

(If you wouldn't mind I would like to keep you company. Unless you want to be alone?) Lucas asked.

(I would like you're company. You aren't busy?) Brooke asked.

(I took the next few days off. I want things resolved for Our daughter too.) Lucas replied.

(The boys won't be out of school for awhile. Brenda is having some quality time with aunt Rachel.)

(This whole situation is affecting Brenda. The light is dimming from her eyes. Her mood.)

(I'm desperate to take it all away from her.) Said proclaimed.

And I want nothing more then to take this off of you. I let you down. During our marriage.) Lucas proclaimed.

(And I made alot of mistakes. Shutting you out. Keeping you at arms length.)

(I was impulsive selfish determined to cling to what you wanted regardless of how the outcome would affect us. That's on me. You were the best husband I could of asked for. Flaws and all.) Brooke replied.

The expression on Lucas's face softened.

(I've spent these three years with an ache in my heart. That you left behind.)

(Moving on. Letting go. Is impossible when it comes to you.) Brooke admitted.
