Come Love A Stranger

<p>/"Mariah,/" Alador shook his head and stood up, /"I have to, t’s the only way I could save you. I would rather do it than lose you. You do not understand the pain I go through every single time, you do not know how it feels to see everything repeat the same way right in front of me every time, I cannot take it anymore, Mariah, and I would certainly not let it happen./" He sat back on the bed and cupped her cheeks, wiping away her tears, he looked deep into her eyes, /"I will find a way, I would look for a way to save us both, but if I cannot find a way,/" he sighed and closed his eyes, /"then I would have no other choice./"</p>

<p>/"Alador, please, do not do this to me, do not hurt me this way,/" she grabbed onto his tunic to stop him from leaving.</p>
