Our anniversary felt like it was the best night that we had shared in a long time. And not just because of the sex. For one thing, Ocean didn't get sick at all that day. He hadn't even looked sick, yet he had eaten less food than he used to, he hadn't looked sick.
I knew that almost every day for the last two weeks he had gotten sick, especially since we had gone into the water for the second time. I knew that it was just the stress of what had happened to him and the trials that were taking their toll on him and all that, but it just felt horrible watching him go through that. I didn't like seeing him suffer like this. I didn't like seeing him be so susceptible to what those people had done to him, especially now that they couldn't hurt him anymore. I felt like a failure, and the sicker that he got, the worse that I felt.
