Chapter Twenty-Two
Theodore
She cut her hair short. I like it, but I won’t tell her that.
There is no better feeling in the world than her naked body curled up to mine, but I won’t tell her that either.
She will never know I can’t see anyone or anything but her in my dreams. I can no longer get off on porn.
I spend my days in constant agitation and my sleepless nights in frustration.
She didn’t die and for that I can’t find the proper gratitude.
No matter what happens in my life, the world is a better place with Scarlet Stone in it.
Yet the fact still remains, her reason for living the lie is gone, but mine is not.
The lies will fade and before long she might see my truth.
She can’t see it. I can’t be with her. But … I can love her.
I can love her from afar.
I can love her in my dreams.
I can love her until my life is over.
Maybe I can love her in another life.
And maybe, just maybe … that love will be enough to cure her.
