I'm so perplexed it's almost shocking

Leo already felt aged beyond his years at times so he hoped that he didn't feel that much older too soon. It was strange. Sometimes he felt his whole life had flown by so fast that he shouldn't be as old as he was already. Then other times he felt like life had aged him so much that his age didn't accurately reflect how old he felt. Maybe this is what they meant by having a midlife crisis. When she assured him that she would be more present he had to smile gratefully. He didn't want her to feel like she had to, but it made him happy to hear that she still wanted to be. He was a family man at the end of the day and he was pretty sure that growing older had made him even more of a momma's boy than he had been to begin with. Seeing the world for what it really was made him wish he could go back to the days of being a pup. He wondered if his children would think of their youngest days with the same fondness or if their mother's disappearance would taint it for them. "I'm glad," he replied with a small smile when she insisted that he could always come to her with advice. He paused for a moment as a question came to mind, thinking about how he should ask it or if he even should ask at all. "Did you ever think about finding another mate after father?" he asked uncertainly, looking at her curiosity as he waited for her reaction. It was something he had been thinking about ever since Alfred made him promise that he would find a way to be happy. He didn't believe that having a wife was the key to his happiness, but he had to wonder what he would do if Svet never came back. Would he even want to try and love someone else? He also knew he hadn't been with Svetlana nearly as long has his parents had been together, but he was interested to hear his mother's take on it either way. |
