Dark and Complicated

"I'm sorry, Lena," Tristan Castelof muttered to his wife. He tightened his hug more and more as if he would die if he let go of her.

"Please... don't be angry. I'm sorry. Forgive me just this once." He never talked as fast as he did just now and at one point, it even surprised Lena Castelof.

What's wrong with him?

"Tristan... "

"Don't you know that you're my life? If you leave me, I don't think I'll ever be the same again."

She was only trying to go out and find Ricon but... he acted and talked as if she was about to leave him.

Lena wondered if she would ever understand him. However, she soon felt how his tight hug was hurting her and that snapped her back to reality.

"You're hurting me, Tristan."

She didn't have to repeat herself as Tristan Castelof immediately withdrew his hands. "I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking of that."
