It was night forwarded by now, the ones who had traded Clovis and David were off patrol, he was on the window and looked out. The willow seemed to cry. Did it cry for him?
Gerard and Edgard saw them sentinel the entrance to the clearing. They were really good guys. They deserved better. He had to help them more. Offer him something better.
He couldn't believe he was so selfish these days.
He believed in a new tomorrow, in completely different days, because she had deluded him that he could be saved, but the drunking had passed, tomorrow he would be sober and he couldn't even think of his lack.
He just couldn't think that she was made only for him, like a fine tailoring suit that let herself wear and felt it was hers, just hers and would jump into the void to recover it and keep it sewn on forever.
