The Abandoned Wife

Lucian's embrace was a tight one, for he was terrified that she would leave. "Don't go."

He yearned to see her. He wanted to feel her in his arms, but he was afraid that he would frighten the children, so he had to restrain himself from doing so.

Roxanne did not know whether it was just her hallucination or not, but she sensed that Lucian seemed anxious.
