There seemed to be something different about this time together. The way their fingers came together and sent a shock of pure electricity down her spine. Or the way that she kept catching herself stealing longing peeks at her best friend, probably about as many times as she caught him with that look in his eye. It was the same one that she pretended would be for her. Without even being able to explain why, Sparrow would peek over her shoulder everytime she caught him staring for too long. Expecting to see one of her female bartender's cleavage or some particularly stunning display of female. Whenever she saw no one. Her heart skipped another beat.

The hope that he could be looking at her like that was enough to drive her insane with potential happiness that she wanted to scream and dance around on her salad.

Given that they seemed to be on an actual date, that would probably not be the best move. Despite the already gaurentee of having sex. This time, she was curious what it would be like if she allowed herself to feel more of the love that she had for Jade during. If she didn't just try to block out the love she had for him. She tried a few times to pretend that they were in a different world. One where they would stay together afterwards. One where he would kiss her swollen and pregnant belly, full with his baby. One where he would hold her through the night and trace meaningless designs into her tattooed skin with his fingertips until they both fell asleep. Those nights, when she did that, she hated herself when he would leave. When his phone with go off with a million text messages from work. When he would kiss her, gather his clothes and promise to write her soon. She would put on the brave face, but a part of her died every time.

She knew it was insane, but she wanted to try one more time. Make love to the man who would always own her heart.

'If Booker wants to complain he can kiss my perfectly toned ass. I see him all the time, you're special.' She signed and smiled at her waitress. The same one who gathered her when Jade showed up.

"I'll have the same."

It was funny watching Sparrow. Whenever they would be together of course they would have their time together but more than once they had gone out to the clubs, found dates for each other. Or would make silly contests about who could get the most numbers in one night. Sure they laughed about it but Jade did watch carefully as his best friend would work her magic on all those men. She was so confident when interacting with them. It made it that more obvious when she seemed to be timid around him. Maybe that was just the difference between someone she wanted to seduce and then him.

Jade didn’t know what way to feel about it. She didn’t have to seduce him. She had him wrapped around her finger. Jade had just no clue if she had caught on. If she really did catch all his longing glances and loving gazes. Sure he could try to hide it but he was exactly good at that.

Then there was the wounds that he knew Sparrow still had. He didn’t want to take advantage of a heart that was just mended. There was so much playing against them. He should have been around to prevent some of it. No matter how strong he knew Sparrow was Jade did regret not just putting his work to the side for longer and being there for however long she needed.

Jade laughed and shook his head. ‘Fine, fine.’ He signed back. ‘Hope all your friends and admirers won’t be running me out of the country for taking up all your time.’ Jade then teased. There was the thought that maybe she did have two or three, or ten, Christmas themed love letters stashed somewhere from people just hoping to get a moment with the lovely red head. Sparrow always seemed to keep her connections well be it business or pleasure. She just cared a little more about every soul. Where-as Jade seemed to just be drowning out something he was always too afraid to admit. So he didn’t keep numbers or names.

Jade was different. If he didn't know that by now in their lives, she wasn't sure what could make it more clear. She tried dating because it was getting too painful to be with him and then watch him leave. When he would go out to take over the world and she just wanted him to come home to her. When she was with Orion and would close her eyes and sometimes imagine that it was Jade over her. She knew that it was wrong, but she couldn't help herself. When she found out that she was pregnant with the twins, a secret part of her wanted Jade to be the father rather than Orion. She knew that it was wrong, but it was the truth. She knew that she could have the life with him if he wanted it, she just didn't know if she could allow him to give up his globe trekking lifestyle for her and some rug rats.

When he would talk about another woman, she would cringe. She would hate it when he would go off and flirt with someone else. Usually forcing her to find anyone else in the bar for her to flirt with. Hoping that it would finally be the time when Jade would get jealous and put a stop to it. Hope that she would finally allow herself to show how jealous she was over the other women who caught Jade's attention and put a stop to it.

No matter how much she hurt from Orion and Killian, when she was with Jade she didn't even feel it. She didn't care about any of them and she could finally feel more like herself again. She wasn't the woman who lost her children and her fiance, she was just back to being little Birdie, little Sparrow who loved her best friend more than anything in the world. It was all she needed to be, because he was just her Jade.

'Admirers? Those have been in short supply lately. I've had my eye on someone special lately. Kinda holding out hope for him, you know.' She smiled at him, hoping that he would understand that she was talking about him.
'What about you? Surely there is some mass panic over you being back in the country? Has your phone blown up yet with all of the love sick women expecting a kiss from you at midnight on New Years?' the idea that whoever you kissed on midnight would be the person who would kissed for the rest of the year never sat well with her. She used to kiss Jade when they were younger, then she would kiss Orion, but it never worked out. She wanted to spend the rest of her year kissing Jade, the rest of her life even. It just never seemed to work out that way.

Jade was sure that Sparrow had picked up on those times that he seemed to be busier than normal. Like this last round. When Jade had found out that Sparrow was pregnant he did the selfish thing and just dove more into work. It made it worse that he would go back to kids that would most likely be light haired and have her eyes. He would have been able to see a glimpse of what their own children could have been.

Everything about Sparrow settling down tore him apart. Jade was selfish about it. Part of him wished that he wasn’t but it was Sparrow. Even with trying to brush it off he would hope that his friend really knew how he felt. She never pressed it so there must not have been anything on her side and he would have to watch his best friend have a life without him anymore. As happy as he was for her Jade knew he was petty as well.

There were nights when he was away, in a bed that was not his own Jade would imagine that he was back with Sparrow. That he was lying next to her, feeling the growing children in her stomach that were his. Of course children meant there would be the possibility that one or both could end up with his condition. Luckily if it was caught their hearing could be saved. Remembering the pain and confusion he had as a child was not something he would want any of his own to go through.

Jade arched a brow, sipping at the beer in front of him. After setting the glass back down he went back to signing. ‘A guy who has you blind to all those others. He must be special’. Of course deep down he was hoping it was him. The very idea was had his hands close to shaking. Jade didn’t want to hold out hope and just get crushed again when she ended up with a ring from another man.

Again he laughed and shook his head. ‘You are really the only one who knows I’m back right now.’ Jade grinned. ‘I wanted to get some quality time with my favorite person.’ There was also now one else to really tell. Real friends weren’t things he had in abundance. There was work and play and Sparrow.

All of her attempts at being with someone else, it was all in vain. She knew that she wasn't supposed to be with anyone but Jade. Clearly all of the pain from Orion and Killian proved that. She was supposed to be with the man in front of her. Why else had they always fallen together over all of the years. Over all of the times when he would turn down some bimbo just so he could go off with Sparrow at the end of the night, or when they would just lay together. Not having sex, and just be. Those were the nights that she craved the most.

She wanted to stop feeling jealous over other women having his attentions, she wanted to stop dealing with random men and women who would hit on her. She just wanted the attentions of her best friend, and maybe that was selfish, but it was what she wanted. She wanted Jade to gather her up, and kiss her. Not in the way that two best friends did, but the way a soul mate did when they returned home. If it meant being with Jade, she would find a way to make it work. Travel, long distance, something. Anything if it meant having him.

Of course all of these desires and needs did a lot better when there was a chance of the love being reciprocated.

There were nights when she would dream that she was still pregnant with her twins. That she would wake up and Jade would be next to her, a hand on her stomach keeping her safe in the middle of the night. Another where their children were happy and running around with their dog. Where Jade would gather her up and kiss her like there was no tomorrow. Sometimes the dream would end there, with her waking up to Ryot licking her toes and Sparrow attempting in vain to get back to that prefect place. Other nights it would turn darker. Where something happened, where they would have episodes of vertigo like Jade did when he was a child, where Jade and Sparrow would rush them to the emergency room but nothing could be done to fix the damage. Even with Sparrow's pleading with Jade that everything would be okay, in her dreams he would always blame himself. In a few of the more painful ones, he would leave. That was how she knew that she was in a nightmare. Her Jade would never leave her.

He wasn't Orion, he wouldn't leave because of a tragedy. He wasn't Killian, and he wouldn't put a career completely over her. If she asked him for some time, then she knew that he would give it to her.
'He is exceptionally special. I think I might actually be in love. Took a long time to admit that it's been there the whole time, but I do.'

Her hands were shaking with the boldness of her confession. She wanted him to understand what she was trying to say. What her hands and fingers were frantically signing out, but she knew that sometimes people didn't always take her seriously. She was silly and flirty, but she loved deeper than most people. When she gave out her heart, it was for whoever she felt was worthy of it. It was for who she trusted and so that trust have been mislaid. Not that time.

Jade was tired of denying everything that he thought should be for theirs. Carriers and fears be damned. Honestly Jade didn’t see his work as that big of an issue. Magic was a great way to get around. He had the other apartments and stayed in other countries because he always figured that there was nothing to come home to if Sparrow was busy enjoying herself with other people.

He would make it work somehow , maybe bring on a partner to lighten the travel load. Offer Sparrow a place by his side so that they could just travel together if she wanted. Anything had to be better than her going off with other people. If she were to ever be proposed to by someone else again it might just ruin him. It all boiled down to him being afraid of losing the one thing that he truly felt he had going for him. The friendship that he had with Sparrow meant more to him than anything in the world.

Love. His heart stopped just for a second. It felt like the longest second of his life. She loved someone. It might be him? Desperately Jade wanted it to be. Earlier she said that they were going to possibly spend the whole time he was back together. So why would she bring up another man? Sparrow wouldn’t do that. But hearing those words and applying them to him was almost too good to be true.

He had never seen her so nervous. ‘What a lucky man.’ He started in reply a grin daring to form on his lips. ‘I’m going to have to make sure that he loves you more than I do before I’m going to give them the chance to even think about steeling you away.’ Jade was eighty present sure that she could very much be talking about him and it had his heart in his chest. Still he wanted to make sure.

Jade had decided that he wouldn’t let some other person swoop in again. He couldn’t risk the nights of wish and wanting again. Still he wanted to be careful and not just bulldoze over a friendship he couldn’t afford to lose. So maybe with more alcohol and time he would be able to cox out the truth. Not the flirty kind. But the brazen declaration that Sparrow deserved.

Sparrow wanted him to look at her and understand what she was saying. That he was the man who she loved. That he was the one who she wanted to be with and how she would do anything for him to understand what she wanted and how much she loved him. That she wanted to be with him for long term. Have him come home every day from his travels and his meetings, have a big smile on his face when he came through the fireplace and take their bundled child from her arms, pepper her face with kisses and they would have a beautiful life together. Filled with happiness and love.

'Do you really believe that any man could possibly love me more than you do? Or I could love anyone more than you?' Enough of the hints, she took more from her glass and smiled at him over the light amber beer.

No one could love her as much, no one could care for her or make her as happy. Jade was the one who she needed in her life, he had been a fool with Orion and Killian, not she had Jade right there the whole time. She knew that she was better than any woman on his arm for the night. She knew that Jade was a better man than either of them put together. Their food was placed in front of them, making Sparrow break her eye contact with her love and started to eat her salad. The chef was working on a new dressing that she loved.

'I hope you like it.' It was a lot for either of them to take in, she was sure that he would question the validity of her confession. If he would assume that she was just lonely from her breakup with Killian. It wasn't true. She thought about him constantly, she was just too tired of fighting against her love for him. It was too painful as she was finished with trying to deny them, her future was with Jade, she just knew it.

His future always seemed blurry. He never knew for sure what it was going to be. Of course Jade’s father always wanted him to take over the family business. Grow it into some sort of empire. Jade never wanted to just mindlessly continue on with something like that but couldn’t just walk away from his upper class life style. So he did his own thing with the money his father gave him. Actually built an empire but it had his name attached, not his father’s.

Work was one thing though. Work was easy. Everything else as hard. Love and friend’s were just a mess. Because all the love eggs were in the Sparrow basket and Jade was always too much of a wimp to actually go for it. Now though it seemed that his friend was putting all the chips in his corner. And Jade was actually shocked that it was even happening. For all the years that he was absolutely head over heel’s in love with Sparrow, Jade never figured that Sparrow could feel the same way.

Of course sitting there with a beer in one hand and plate of salad being placed in front of him maybe it was ridiculously obvious and Jade was far too blind to see it. But here she was just shoving it in his face and Jade felt like he was speechless.

He shook his head and then the grin sprouted on his face. It was this giddy childish kind of smile that was so different from what he normally had. Jade was too much business and of course his smile would normally curl into something that had so much intention behind it. A salesmen’s intention. ‘No one could ever love you more than I do Sparrow’ He signed wanting to keep this to themselves. No one around them needed to know the depth of his feelings for the red headed woman.

It wasn’t because he was embarrassed. In fact it was the opposite. Those people didn’t matter. They didn’t deserve to know the love he had for his best friend. ‘I’ve always loved you more than I could say.’

He glanced down at his plate of greens taking up the fork, but still not hungry. He could feel his cheeks burn from the confession. The last time he felt this exposed was when they had started Salem together. A couple of boy’s, third years at the time, found it funny to tease him. Of course Sparrow stepped in and knocked one of the boy’s on their ass. The other too scuttled away shouting something that Jade wasn’t able to catch all of.

Instead of being rude and poking at the salad he shoved a mound of it in his mouth and looked back at her nodding. It was good. He just wished that his stomach wasn’t churning form the dumb nerves that seemed to want to run amuck.

She had been an idiot thinking that she could replace the love she had for Jade with other people. When she thought that being with someone else who reminded her of his best features would make her happy. That she thought that loving someone else would distract her from how much she needed her best friend. How when she would talk to Orion about some of their adventures, and he would get angry over it. She knew why. He could see how much Sparrow loved him. She thought that it was some irrational jealousy, but he had just seen what Sparrow always knew. When she was with Jade was when she was the happiest. When she found out she was pregnant, he was the first person who she wanted to tell because she wanted it to have been his big news too. That she would be able to have her children and have them with Jade's eyes and her smile. Not Orion's, not even Killian's. Jade's.

There would be no coming back from all of this. The weight of her confession wore at her hands and made her whole body shake. If he rejected her, she would have to figure out a way to be okay with it. She would have to find a way to still spend time with him like it wasn't slowly killing her. Find a way to be his best friend without dying every time he picked up some girl at the bar.

When he smiled, she was sure that there was no better feeling in the world. How could people be going on with their lives acting like it wasn't the biggest and most magical moment of her life. Not when she became engaged to Orion, not when she went on her first date with Killian, no. It was this. The life that she always wanted for herself was tangled up in that smile and it was amazing.
'I'm sorry that it took me so long to realize that. All of these years, all of these milestones. It should have been you. I want it to be only you, Jade.'

It took her three tries to sign out milestones. Her hands were shaking that terribly.

'I love you too, Jade. More than a friend. More than what we always had. I can't watch you with anyone else any more. I can't be with someone else. Not while you're in my world.'

Her face was bright red, she thought for a second about Scott. He was such a nice guy. He was sweet and energetic, but there was no chemistry there. She could sit with him and talk about the benefits of snorting pixie sticks, but she didn't feel the need to tear his clothes off and then lay in bed with him for hours. She went from someone who she could talk to, but only about select topics with Orion. Someone who she had very little in common with but amazing chemistry, with Killian. To someone who she could talk to about silly topics but nothing more than that with Scott. Jade was everything. He was the mindblowing passion, the silly conversations, the deep and painful ones too.

Sparrow downed the rest of her drink, hoping that she didn't pour too much on him all at once. If he needed time, she would find a way to be alright with it. For now, she just had to worry about him knowing and the fall out from it.

Of course he was a fool. For a long time Jade had settled on the fact that it would always be Sparrow. He knew it deep down and that was why he wouldn’t settle. Endless nights of just nameless people. Never once did he have a steady girlfriend. Not in Salem, not after that. Of course now he had the excuse of travel. Not many people would put up with his line of work.

Hearing his best friend confess her love like this was never something that Jade thought he would hear. Of course while they were drinking, just like he would sometimes blurt it out, she had mumbled ‘I love you’s’ into his neck so he could feel her mouth form the words. Red lip stick smudges being left behind as proof. This was different from either of their alcohol fueled confessions. She was in the middle of her inn sober. And he could see the nerves with the way her hands quivered. Jade almost couldn’t contain his excitement.

‘I was always there Sparrow,’ Even if it wasn’t exactly in an official way Jade was by her side. They were there for each other always. Even when it hurt him to be a third wheel. Jade wouldn’t leave Sparrow because he couldn’t.

Now his heart was swelling with this revelation. ‘I want the same Sparrow. Only you’ Jade pushed aside his plate and reached out for her hands. He squeezed them gently, with hopes to calm the shaking. There was nothing to be nervous about. Sparrow had gotten herself stuck with him now. A real chance at the relationship that he had always wanted. If it wasn’t for Sparrow’s pulse that he could feel with his finger tip’s Jade would swear he was dreaming.

No matter what happened from here on in Jade wasn’t going to lose his best friend. “I will give it everything. No matter what.” He refused to let go of her hands so he spoke not even sure if she could hear him over the music.

She couldn't believe that all of the roads they had taken lead them to this place. To right here with each other. Holding the other's hand, looking into the eyes and making their silent pledges to make this work out. That no matter what, no matter who came along, she was his. There was no going back towards Orion or Killian, or men like them. She didn't need any substitution when the one who she needed was right there.

She could say I love you over and over again, but he would never be able to hear it. He could only feel it. Experience what she felt for him and she hoped that it would always be enough for him. That he would never have to doubt what they had and that he would know that when they were together, it was all that she needed.
'My hands won't stop shaking, I'm about to sign that you smell like aardvark of something.' she managed to get out with a smile. She was nervous and Jade had to know that that meant something. That she was confident with everything else in the world, except for this. This had her nervous and scared and she loved it.

No more would she have to deal with him running off with some other woman. Sure they would have to cope with his working long hours. Her dedication to the Inn and her tattooing, but they would make it work. She would do just about anything to make this work.

A real shot at them being together. She knew that people would just see this as another one of her jumps right into a relationship. Years of enjoying no strings attached and suddenly she only wanted monogamy. She wanted a life with someone who would love her as much as she loved him for the rest of her life. Someone who would be her partner in all things. She wanted a family. A house somewhere with big windows and a yard for Ryot to run in. She wanted all of it.

Of course she could hear him. She knew Jade's voice out of a crowd of familiar tunes because it was the one that spoke to her heart. The one that made her smile and her stomach twist and contort with happiness whenever she heard it.
"I will give you everything too. All of me, as long as you want it."

In his heart Jade always knew that they would end up here. It was his brain that rationalized it all. Saying that they were just meant to be friends and he could pour all his love into the in-betweens. Those perfect moments when she would be single. The fact that right now his heart had been proven right was absolutely insane. Jade new he was the luckiest man alive to be sitting there now with Sparrow having just been told that she loved him, more than just a life long friend.

Jade ran his thumb over the back of her hand and then laced his fingers with her’s. “We don’t need to sign if this is easier.” He spoke. Out in the world Jade often chose to sign whenever he could. Even writing for people over talking. He would just get too impatient with people when he tried to speak. Talking to most people besides Sparrow was just a pain. They would turn away from him so he couldn’t lip read or just shout at him thinking suddenly he would be able to hear them. Sparrow understood. She never had to be reminded.

It was adorable to see her so nervous. He couldn’t remember the last time he had seen her that way. Maybe their first day of Salem. Possibly the first time he had to flight out when his work was just getting off the ground. Both days they had been fighting letting go of each other’s hands.

Jade’s grin grew. “I will gladly take a life time of all of it.” He would be an absolute fool to turn her away. Even if in his gut something wanted him to really think about this. The what if’s of failure. Jade wasn’t going to listen to that nonsense in his head anymore. Already he had spent countless nights trying to weight the idea of this relationship out time and time again. Jade knew he wanted this and he wasn’t going to blow his chance for some silly what if’s.

She knew better than anyone else that things could get messy between them. That if anything went wrong in the relationship, that they could possibly lose the friendship that had been through so much. Sparrow had this deep down feeling in her stomach that it wouldn’t go bad. That if they were able to be together in the way that they always should have been, it would be for the long run. That there wouldn’t be a problem with them breaking up, because it was one of those simply meant to be moments.

“Anything that you’re comfortable with.” She spoke slowly, even though he had spent years looking at her lips. They had just both been drinking, so she wanted to make sure that he was able to understand every word that she wanted to tell him. All of the things that she whispered to herself when he would fall asleep next to her, or when he would board a flight and she would watch it fly through the sky. She knew that she didn’t have to shout, it wouldn’t help at all. She and Booker had been friends with Jade for almost their whole lives, people who tried to shout were just dumb.

When they started Salem, she stood with Jade and Booker for as long as she could. She stood between them, holding to both of their arms. She didn’t know what to expect from any of it, and it scared her to bits. She kept sneaking to Jade’s room over the first month. She didn’t want to be away from her friend for too long. Not when there so many new noises waking her up.

“I’ve wanted this for a very long time and I don’t want any of the potential problems to make things bad. I don’t want you to think that this is some rash or hasty decision. It’s not. It’s you, it’s always been you.” She hoped that he felt the same way and she knew that she didn’t want anything more in the world than to be with him. To make him happy and to feel that tingle in her body that being with Jade caused.

Jade liked to think that they would be able to make the best what ever happened. If it worked out they would be a relationship for the centuries. If it somehow fell apart then they could be strong enough to have each other still around as friends. It was hopeful. Really Jade knew that he wouldn’t be able to be strong enough to see Sparrow move on to someone else after him. Jade already had to watch her give her all to another man. A man that never deserved her in the first place.

If he were being honest with himself, he didn’t deserve her either. Still he would try, and that was more than most of her ex’s ever did. That simple fact should count for something. Jade thought back on all the times he thought that this would be it, finally he would just gather the courage and ask her. All the way back at sixteen, a couple times before they graduated Salem, then there was the one or two between her recent major relationships. Every time it never worked out because this or that reason. Those excuses were trying to cover up his ultimate worry, that she would get tired with having to accommodate with his non hearing.

Jade never saw the fact that he was deaf as something to ashamed of, but it was a hearing person’s world and he couldn’t ignore that fact. Over the years more and more he just didn’t tolerate people acting ignorant with him. more than once he had been asked why he just doesn’t get implants. It was simply because he never thought that he needed them. At a time he could hear and yes there were things he missed, voices he missed, but that didn’t make his life any less beautiful. Living with him, day in and out, was different though, he would be asking someone to actually change their lives for him.

“This is good,” He smiled and looked down at their hands and then back up to Sparrow. Love was definitely Deaf. He didn’t need to hear or speak.

Maybe he shouldn’t have been surprised to hear the confession from Sparrow. They had always loved each other, just explained away the romanticism by saying it was just how they were. That their friendship was just a bit closer than some others. Still he was surprised to hear it. Jade’s cheeks felt hot as the realization that they had both always wanted this sunk in. “It’s always been you too..” that was why he could never settle down. No other person lats past two weeks because back at home was Sparrow and one day he was hoping it would finally be his chance to prove to her that he could be good enough.

When she woke up this morning, she had no idea that this would be how it would end. She had no idea that she would be able to not only hold hands with her Jade, but she would be admitting that she had been in love with him for years. That she didn’t want to just be friends with impressive benefits. She wanted to have him in her life, she wanted to have a future with him more than she wanted anything else in the world. She was addicted to his smile and his laugh. She had wanted to be with him since she was a little girl, and she always thought that this day would come. For a while she just thought it would be one of those ‘if we aren’t married to someone else by the time we’re forty, we’ll marry each other!’ things. She had been in so much pain watching Jade leave, when he would prefer someone else’s bed over hers, she tried to dive into a relationship with Orion, then with Killian. Neither of them could make her as happy as one smile from Jade could.

Things might have been messed up between all of her relationships in the past, but she hoped that Jade knew that he was better than all of that. That he was above all of her indiscretions and she would truly do anything in her power to make sure that he knew that she would never want any other man or woman the same way that she wanted him. He was all that she wanted from the world and they would be able to have the world together, as long as they were together. As long as they were together, they didn’t have the horrors of the past binding them away from each other. When she was with him, she didn’t have to think about her old apartment with the vacant nursery she had painted with the promises that she would be the best mother possible.

Sparrow could remember when she first told Jade about losing the babies. She had been shaking when her fingers pressed the keys on her phone. He was away in some beautiful land, somewhere warm and exotic. She had to type how much she needed him before the bile threatened to ruin her perfectly lovely phone. No sooner did she send the message did Jade come tumbling back into her life. His hands going wild with questions about what was going on and what he could do to help. All she had to sign was that she lost the babies and Orion left. Any homicidal tendencies towards her piece of shit ex-fiance were curbed by her tears and she was back where she belonged in Jade’s arms.

There were people who always asked Jade why he didn’t learn how to speak better, or why he didn’t get an implant, and Sparrow just could never understand why he would need to. He was at the top of his field without the help of either of those, so why bend himself to fit into what other people believed was needed for success?

“ I just hope that I can be good enough for you, Jade.” She couldn’t believe that she was spilling out her deepest fear to the blond man, but it seemed to be the theme for the evening. She had tried to replace the love that she felt for him with other people, but no longer. She refused to even try to be with anyone else, not when Jade was in the world. He was everything that anyone could ever need, and maybe she could be lucky enough to have him all to herself.
