Bright Morning Star
“He knew it was foolish since he would have to stand watch soon anyway, but he couldn’t lay in his bed of thorns any longer. In the past, he would tell Bella, she was crazy and to stop worrying. But tonight he couldn’t bring the lie to his lips. He was obsessed, but he didn’t dare admit it to his wife. But he had heard it in her voice, the hurt she felt when he didn’t deny it as usual.
In the dark, he stood and listened, felt his heart contract as he heard the dry sobbing. She was crying. He... could slip back into the wagon and comfort her. Kiss and make love to her. How long had it been since they last made love? Days, weeks? Why had he hurt her? It didn’t seem enough to tell her he had never acted inappropriately with the girl in any way. It wasn’t enough, because that was all he thought about doing these days.
Henry stood outside the next wagon, holding his breath as he listened again. All he could think about was scolding Claire for her behavior.MoreLess
