When She Loved Me

*Valentine* · 09-26-2018, 10:43 AM

His son's voice, so different than the last time he heard it, briefly pulled Valentine's attention away from Rhythm. He couldn't believe they were both back. Valentine had searched for them for the better part of a year. He'd abandoned everything for them, neglected his other children, and in the end he'd given up hope. What else could he do? No trail could be found, all his leads dried up. He'd had no choice but to move on and try to let that wound heal.

A ghost of a grateful smile brightened his features as he gazed at his son and then, as Rhythm's struggling voice reached his ears, he buried his face in her scruff and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. He pulled her closer and in doing so felt a huge weight rise off his shoulders. Until now he hadn't realized just what he'd been missing. "I didn't think I'd ever see you again," he admitted, his voice laced with pain.

He had to know. There was no way she would have just up and left him. Left their daughter. Stolen his son. No way. So what had taken her away from him? "What happened?"
