“I’m sorry my darling, but I must go,” she whispered.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uLDDv25HW
“Why?” he asked, caressing her cheek, “Why must you leave?”
“My dear Lawrence, I am almost twenty-three. If I am to have a child, like I am expected to, then I must find a husband,” she replied, gazing into his striking grey eyes.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2WfVCcM6n
He sighed and ran his spare hand through his tousled blonde hair. He then looped that arm around her waist, drawing her closer to him. “What about me?” he murmured, burying his face into her neck. She shifted slightly as if to avoid too much physical contact with him.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthsj6cZO8I
She laughed slightly. “I need someone that can care for me and any offspring I may have. We both know there’s only one thing you want.”
“Is that really what you think of me?”
“No, it’s what I know of you.”
“Maybe you got the wrong impression of me.”
“It’s not just me Lawrence. It’s the whole town. If only you’d joined the army.”
He scoffed. “What and die needlessly? I was underage anyway.”
“I know but my father…”
He cut her off. “I don’t care about what your father thinks.”
“My father doesn’t approve of you and quite frankly I’m not sure I do either. My father has an old friend whose cousin’s son looks like a good prospect. He’s handsome, well-mannered and has a good job.”
He studied her features carefully, knowing that he may never see her again. Her cheekbones were high and her eyes were bright. Her dark hair was neatly curled and a pretty blue hat was neatly pinned in place.
“Please, give me a chance.”
“Why?” she asked.
“I love you,” he confessed, choking on his words. He leant down brushing his lips against hers.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuUwwJZvHO
“Don’t Lawrence,” she warned as she pulled away.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyprZ4fy1Jo
Ignoring her, he leant down again and kissed her, but this time with more force. He pulled her closer as he kissed her with an unquenchable thirst. He could’ve held her like that forever, but once again she pulled away.
“I’m sorry Lawrence. I have to go.” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she spoke although she tried to keep them in.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhKQCJ65mW
“I will always be there to hold you up when no one else can,” he vowed, “I swear to you Gale, no matter who you marry, I will always be your guardian angel.”631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JLh6SKNjk
