"I can't"

Marc sighed, eyes on her face "Because you owe hiive him complete honesty, whether he was ready to hear it or not "Not any I couldn't, that I wouldn't - that cancelled our dealelse he's done"

"Then why?"

"It's hard to explain I' at me too, at the other side of me I dreahtmares had come less often, but when they did, they see about a hts, and it's full of people Our kind of people and they need help I want to belong there I want us to be a part of that protection"

She stuck a cigarette in her mouth "Of course it is For now, our son's all that matters, anyway We'll handle it as it coht we made him?"

Marc took a step closer, heart aching "No Angie, to all of it I've only had one love, only said it once, and I meant it Forever hasn't come yet"
