"I know you can go there," he insisted, "But never hesitate to come to me if you need to," there was a pause then he added, "...or want to.”

Some unseen force promoted me to turn to him and I did. And my heart caught in my throat. Even though it was semi-dark, the tenderness I saw in those eyes was intense.

What does he mean,...come to me?' I thought as I quickly looked away from him. Was there an underlying meaning to his words?

His fingers intertwined with mine and he grabbed it and placed it on his lap. "I'm here," he muttered tenderly.
