Ether & Elephants
“For one thing, back when he was a student, he’d been a young man out drinking with his mates. Now he was a grown man on a mission. For another, back in those days, Nell had been ever-present in his heart, but nowhere near him physically. Now she stood beside him, her stiff carriage and brittle smile letting him know how hurt she was by his actions.
What an idiot he’d been.
What a cad he was, to involve her in his dirty laundry despite the grief it must be causing her.
He would spend... the rest of his life making it up to her, if he only had the chance.
What would he do if he wasn’t married to Polly? If there was public proof that the marriage had never happened. Yes, he’d take responsibility for the child, whether the boy was Tom’s or not—if there even was one, and if he was alive. Tom rubbed his chest where it burned at the thought of Nell’s Charlie being one of the bodies in that pit.MoreLess
