Ride the Fire
“Though her head throbbed and her entire body ached, she felt a strange sense of lightness inside, as if something dark and heavy had been lifted from her. And it didn’t take her long to realize why. Last night she had told Nicholas everything, every horrible detail, and he had not pushed her away. Instead, he’d held her, comforted her, assured her no one would hurt her again. And as the laudanum had taken hold and she’d drifted off to an untroubled sleep, the last thing she remembered him sayin...g was that he still cared for her.All I see, Bethie, is the woman I care deeply about and wish to protect.
Twas not a declaration of love, to be sure, but it was far beyond anything she’d dared hope for. And when he’d looked at her, it was not pity or shame she saw in his eyes, but tenderness, concern. Nicholas knew, and still he stayed by her side.Nicholas. Nicholas. She loved him. With everything she was, she loved him. Uncertain though their future might be, she felt some peace in knowing that much.MoreLess
