“Maybe it would have been better if they’d put me out in the sun those years ago.”
Jason glanced up at Cassie as she uttered those words, he couldn’t believe she was saying that. The woman that stood before him was not the one he’d known for years, she was someone different…someone weaker. Slowly he stood up and walked towards her, his heart breaking as he did so.
“Cassie please do not speak of such things….damn it you don’t know how much it hurts to hear that when you know I love you,” Jason stated.
With care he pulled Cassie into his arms and sat down on the bed. He couldn’t stand her being this way just like he couldn’t stand anyone harming her. She held his heart when no one else had ever succeeded in doing so.
“Jason I’m not worth loving.”
“the hell you aren’t. I’d give up my life for you and that’s never going to change.”
He glanced down at her to see her looking up at him, her eyes filled with love and compassion. She cared as much about him as he did about her. Jason felt her fingers brush against his cheek wiping away the few tears he let fall.
