“I can’t…. Please, forgive me; I—I can’t.”

“Why, love? What is it? What’s wrong?” A shake of the head; she sank her teeth into her lower lip. “I can’t tell you: I can’t explain. It wouldn’t be fair…”

Gentle movement at her side. The bed was warm; his body was warmer; and she wanted him, wanted him.

“Is it… someone else? Are you promised to another?”

“I…” The truth. She had to tell him that truth, if nothing else. “I was. But he—” She couldn’t finish; it was impossible that he could understand.

“Is he dead, Indigo? Is that your grief? Oh, my love—”

Dead and yet living; alive in her mind and in her hopes. But he wasn’t here. She couldn’t reach him. And this man, so like him and yet so unfamiliar, was with her and would be kind to her: and here, now, he alone could take away the pain she felt.

The tears were flowing again, and this time she didn’t even try to staunch them. Her voice breaking, she whispered,

“We were… never lovers. And I wish…”

He didn’t let her say more. His lips were gentle and his hands were reassuring. And suddenly nothing else mattered. For this moment, for this precious, secret hour, nothing else mattered.
