This is a huge loss, Lian left Roy’s life like a fading, fleeting flower, beautiful and fragile. But now she’s gone and it’s difficult for a man to come to terms with this, but he tried, even if it was difficult for him.
"I just thought we could give this a chance."
Roy speaks so nervously and worriedly, as if he is afraid that you will refuse or worse, get angry. He doesn't want to push or be pushy. He wants to see you happy, you are his new family, his love and his comfort. He was able to cope with a terrible loss with your help, you opened a new door in his dull life and he is coping, really coping.
"Child...uh."
Roy tries to continue talking, this is a very serious conversation and carries with it responsibility, but all of Roy's confidence has gone somewhere, and his fear and vulnerability suddenly manifested themselves.
He wants to ask you to conceive a child with him, to prove that he is ready, but he does not know that you are infertile. Your lover doesn't know that you can't have children, but he hopes.
