Lysander was well acquainted with the sting of solitude. Even though she had grown used to her own company. the feeling of isolation could still be overwhelmingly melancholic at times.

Josiah, who had been quietly absorbing everything she shared, only expressed his sentiments once he fully grasped the depth of Lysander’s concerns. “Life often doesn’t follow our plans, and saying goodbye is a part of that. But if you’re open to it. I’m here to stay by your side until the very end.” he offered gently.

Lysander didn’t outright reject his offer, but she didn’t embrace it either. Touching the corner of her catch a tear, she responded softly, “Your intentions are touching but a bit far from reality. You’re older than me, and since men generally have a shorter lifespan than women, the likelihood of you being by my side until the end is uncertain.”

“You mentioned wanting someone younger? Perhaps that’s not such a bad idea.”

“And you think…” Lysander began, somewhat surprised.

“Don’t worry,” he reassured her quickly, “I promised your father I’d always protect you, and I intend to keep that promise. If you choose not to remarry, I’ll still be here. And if you find someone else, I’ll support you both.”

Lysander’s expression turned serious. “Are you truly okay with that?”
