He took a deep breath, knowing that he could only tell her this once. "I don't blame you. I never blamed you. I do love you and it does hurts to think that we can't be together, but I was never good enough for you. It was all my fault. All of it, I should have warned you what that slimey jarvey was capable of."
He grabbed one of her hands in both of his. "Those memories of us are the some of the most precious things that I have. I'd never be parted with them, never. Without you... I would still be in Fiji, no Esme in my life and that was... so lonely." He lifted her hand to his lips, kissing it gently. "I'm sorry if I made you thing differently."
He couldn't take the tension, it felt like it was eroding his insides. He released her hand and turned to walk away. Antigone was startled when Chi ran on front of her and took her hand. She let him get it out, all of it. She just smiled and shook her head, placing her hand to his cheek before he turned to leave. "Chi... I was the one that was never good enough for you. One day you'll realize that and you will be far happier than anytime you spent with me in Fiji. I am glad you have Esme... I am glad you can move on. If it weren't for Eth- I am not sure that I would be in any fit state after us let's just say that. YOu need to focus on that child. I will help you." she said as she let her hand drop as he grasped it and kissed it. The electricity in his touch making her shudder slightly as she nodded and watched him walk away.
"You'll be okay, you know," she called after him. |
