Kellen drew a deep, shaky breath. “I didn’t know,” he whispered.

Cristophe shook his head. “You didn’t want to know,” he corrected. “Do you

want me to show you what I saw earlier tonight? Do you want to see Haven huddled in

the doorway of Darkness, crying and alone, his heartbeats slowing in the cold? Do you

want to see what Micah found in a pile of snow in that doorway?”

Every word Cristophe spoke drove spikes of red hot pain into Kellen’s soul. “No!

No, I don’t want to see it! I can’t bear what I’ve done, Cristophe! I’m so sorry!”

Sobs broke from Kellen, deep wrenching sobs that contained all the pain he’d felt

when Cristophe had been diagnosed with cancer, the pain he’d felt when Cristophe had

died, all his loneliness, his fear of ever loving again, his rage over being left alone, and

the guilt that racked him over his treatment of Haven. Such a sweet man, a man who

had only ever wanted someone to love. Kellen didn’t deserve him and Haven hadn’t

deserved to be destroyed by Kellen’s stubborn determination to never be hurt again.

He slumped in his chair, tears running freely down his face. “I’m sorry. I’m so

sorry,” he moaned, his eyes shut tight. He couldn’t bear to see the censure on

Cristophe’s face. He’d let his former lover down. He’d let Micah and Nick down. He’d

let Haven down and most of all, he’d let himself down.

When his tears and sobs subsided, he wiped his face on the hem of his t-shirt. He

opened his eyes and found Cristophe sitting on the arm of the chair looking down at

him. For some reason, he’d half expected to see the angel kneeling in the spot beside

Kellen’s legs.

Cristophe shook his head. “That’s not my place any more. It’s Haven’s.”

“It’s not Haven’s either any longer.” Kellen’s voice came out rough and hoarse

from his tears.

Pink lips pursed. “What if there was a chance it could still be his place? What

would you do to have him back?”

Kellen wanted to say “Anything”, but he knew it was the wrong answer. The

right answer lay in his heart. He thought about what he wanted out of life. He thought

about what Haven needed that he hadn’t provided. He looked Cristophe in the eye and

spoke from his heart.

“I would give him everything he needs to thrive. I would give him everything

he’s ever hoped for and dreamed of. I would give him what his mother wished for him

to have, what Randolph wished for him and what Micah and Nick believe he deserves.”

With each word, Kellen’s voice grew stronger with conviction and love. “I

would give him what I’ve been hiding in my heart. All my love, my protection, my care.

I would give him back a thousandfold everything he’s given me in the past eight

months. I would give him the life he never thought he’d have, the one he doesn’t think

he deserves. I’d give him as much of me as he could take and then I’d give him more.”

Drawing a deep breath, Kellen whispered fiercely, “If I could, I would give
