He chuckled, shaking his head.

"It's alright, love...If you want me to, I can wait for you to come back to me...I'm alright..."

He said, stroking your hair gently. You had finally gathered the courage to tell him the truth, the truth that you were married and he was the other man. How could he be so fine with this? It was so...unacceptable. You had been together since 16. Of course that was, until your family decided to marry you to another man, which happened at 20. But still, it was unbelieveable. Infuriating. You thought he'd be at least shedding a tear but no, he reassured you. With a surge of fury, you had rushed outside, and that was of course several years ago. You had changed everything you had, while he waited there, like a barge in the sea, despite the storm, despite the sun, staying clear. And once you had turned back, once you were finally back to the town you had grown attached to with all your being, you had seen him. Damn it...While you tried to sneak through the crowd, your eyes locked. He panicked, looking around for you.
