She quietly followed him through the door , he looked back up at her and offered his hand which she took unconsciously.
He led her down to the wine cellar that was filled with all kind of wine.
She gasped seeing how big it was. By the hand he took her through it ,explaining the names ,age and when it was purchased.
"The bottle is elegant " she commented on one, "can I try it ?".
He nodded pulling it out. They headed back upstairs where he grabbed the glasses and joined her again at the fireplace.
Pouring her a glass then himself they took a sip . Her eyes beamed , "It's sweet " she smiled.
He nodded .
After a few more sips he said.
"Lets stop here for tonight ,you have had enough " he said taking the half empty bottle from her hands.
"Ahhhhh...no give it back " she cried.
"Verana it's late and your getting drunk ,you need to rest " he said to her.
"But it's the only way I can't think of them...it's the only way I feel numb that it doesn't hurt anymore " she cried.
Quietly he placed the bottle back down and sat right back .
She poured the rest in her glass ,spilling some. Taking all of it in one big gulp .
"Everything was going well in my life ,perfect . But then Dad left first and it all crumbled ...and now ,and now mom has left too. Who do they think I will be with now , am so lonely " she burst into tears.
"Vera" he called.
"Mmm" her teary eyes gazed up at him. .
"I can't bring either of your parents back but I can take there place and take care of you "
She blinked , "How can you ...you have only known me a few days and faced all this trouble. I don't think I can let you suffer anymore " she sniffed .
"We are married " he said.
"For a year " she let out.
"Yes, so let me do my responsibilities of being your husband and take care of you " he began.
Verana bit her lower lip , he watched her place the glass aside then crawl to where he was.
Her arms pulled him to her and she hugged him so tightly.
"Then I will be in your care , dear husband " she cried.
He chuckled ,holding her. She didn't let go and so he didn't either . Sitting there in silence while she clung to him like a baby .
