They had huge challenged awaiting them, especially with the truth of their children’s parentage to remain hushed. He still didn’t like any part of it, and if he hadn’t had so much respect for Shaye he might have really fought her on it. He didn’t like the dishonesty and he didn’t like not being able to claim what was his. He sighed heavily as he tried to banish the heavy emotions and focus on their talk of plans.

There were so many actions he felt compelled to do in that moment, but all of them would be rejected. Nothing could help them in that moment, he didn’t think there was anything he could do to accelerate the healing of their relationship. He wanted to go take comfort in the bottle, the urge had struck him more than once. Rhyme would refrain though. He looked back to Shaye, "Do you need anything?" Rhyme thought to ask before he retreated out to a patrol to help process what she’d told and asked of him. |
