Chapter 16

Sebastian's arrival left me with mixed feelings. He was a wise and I respected him immensely. He had showed me kindness when my own maker showed me none and had become like a father to me. Now, he would be the one to drive a wedge between me and the only woman I would ever love.

I opened my apartment door and welcomed Sebastian and Solomon inside. He stepped forward and embraced me like a father and said, “Curry, I have missed you and I’m glad to see you are well.”

“It’s good to see you as well, Sebastian.”

“Solomon has explained your predicament to me. Have there been any changes?”

I couldn’t lie to Sebastian. “Only one. I love her more today than yesterday, or the day before. I’m sorry, I know it isn’t what you wish to hear.” I expected myself to feel shame as I confessed my feelings to the man I thought of as a father, but I didn’t. I felt pride in having the honor of loving such a perfect woman.

“Curry, only the truth will reveal the answers we seek, so do not fear it and do not withhold anything,” he directed.

I knew he was right. “I have no intentions of misrepresenting myself or the feelings I have for Chansey, so how do you wish to do this?”

“Curry, I have seen Chansey and your affection for her. Solomon and I have observed you together for the past two days and I have seen her affection for you It is quite obvious she loves you as well.”

That was impossible. “When did you watch? I never sensed your presence.”

“You were too engrossed in your young lady to notice us and we didn’t want our presence known to you. You wouldn’t be natural with her if you knew we were watching, do you agree?”

I thought of our actions during the last two days and I wondered how much they saw. “Yes, I agree very much.”

“I know you are wondering and I should tell you now, we saw everything. It’s better to go ahead and put it out there. I’m sorry to invade your privacy, but it was the only way,” he explained.

I braced myself for the inevitable. “Do you know what is happening?”

“I believe I have figured it out. The return of your humanity was triggered by something and I believe that something was Chansey Leclaire. Your plan to return here doesn’t have a thing to do with forgiveness and moving on. Although you were entirely unaware, it was your need to be near her. You have unknowingly been preparing to receive her since she was born.”

This would either be the best news of my life, or the most devastating, so I took a deep breath and blew it out slowly. “What does that mean?”

“Chansey Leclaire is a Daughter of Anteros, which makes her your agápe. She is your gift....and your curse.”

“I don’t know what a Daughter of Anteros or an agápe is.”

“It is complicated and the beginning is the only place to start.
