Come Near Me
“ Appearances are often deceiving.
— Aesop Sherry awoke smiling, her mind still wrapped in a lovely dream. She was loved, she was cherished, she was...
She pressed a hand to her mouth, stifling an involuntary dry sob.
She was awake.
Perhaps if she closed her eyes, and wished it enough, she could go back to sleep, back to her dream. Back to the time Adam had loved her, to the time she’d loved him.
Had either of them really loved?
Really?
If she really loved him, she’d forgive him.
If he really loved her, he’d never have believed she could have betrayed him with Dickie. If they’d been anything other than foolish dreamers, desperately trying to make their impossibly romantic paradise last, perhaps they would have had time to know what love really is.
Now, he was sorry. Now, she couldn’t forgive him. Couldn’t forgive herself. Couldn’t forgive the dream.
Was it really too late? People who can’t feel don’t fall asleep crying, wake smiling. People who don’t care shouldn’t feel a small ...leap of the heart at the thought that maybe, just possibly, there was hope.MoreLess
