Scarlet always wanted babies. We could not have tried that year because I took the fertility control injection. Hence, we started trying the following year. Nothing happened, though. We had each other and that was all that mattered for us. Until shit happened and I was not the boyfriend she needed.
It was time to go back to reality. I never wanted to leave yet. This was a time when we were happy. The calm before the storm.
Scarlet was so beautiful. Not only on the outside but on the inside as well. I often thought she was the luckiest man in the world. She chose to believe not everyone was evil even if they had a knife to her throat. She had the power to change the cruelest of a person. One sentence from her and they were willing to open up. Miranna hated the quality. She described it as being too soft.
I was too busy being king of my life to realize when she turned from talking down bad guys to slitting their throats without a word.
