The last time Sterling remembered feeling such sadness and pain was when he lost his mother as a child. That was the last time he shed tears of grief. Back then, he was all by himself, with no one to comfort him.
But now he understood. He was no longer alone… He had Faye, his lovely butterfly, to share his life with.
The thought of this suddenly bathed his world in an unexpected brilliance that he could never have imagined.
He realized it was only after marrying Faye that his heart opened, that he finally stopped living a solitary life, keeping everyone at arm's length. So he or they would not be hurt.
His shoulders shook as tears streamed from his eyes. His storm of emotions was like a wave surging onto a beach, washing everything away as ebbed.
He didn't care anymore what anyone thought. He let go of his pride and bared his true feelings to Faye.
