It took a moment before she answered and that moment felt like a life time. He could only imagine what her response would be and each scenario was worse than the last.

She grew suddenly quiet and moved away and Helios felt like he needed to fill the silence, needed to do something but no words would come to him.
His wife would speak again and as Helios sat there, listening he found a parade of emotions marching through him. ?I know?? He said lamely. ?I always meant to tell you, I just could never work up the courage.? He paused, working on the best way to get across his meaning. ?There isn?t a wolf in this world I trust more than you, Nat I?d die for you!?
Her voice turned soft and he nodded, accepting her words. ?I love you too, and? I understand.? His tone matched hers.
