Was he truly supposed to let her go to another?
He couldn't bear the thought of it happening.
The mere idea seemed to drive him to madness.
Why did it have to cto this?
The pressure of the diamond ring against his skin was a stark reminder of his predicament, marlang nm with
red indents.
The echoes of his past negligence and overlooked affection now returned to haunt him. Taree years at pad and
all he was left with was a deep-seated yearning that seemed to elude his grasp
