Kapitel 293: Chapter 293: Family, Part 21

James

Michael takes a moment before speaking, then, “…. All through your life, you’ve had everything thrust upon you. Even meeting James and me, you chose to enter the auction, but you did that out of necessity. I’d like to know what you want. Now that you are free to choose for yourself, what is it that you want?”

And he falls silent, watching her, and waiting as she looks around at everything about us….

And I wonder what she sees. With everything that life has thrown at her, the horrors of her childhood, the terrors of her adulthood, and now to be here, in this lovely place, with the home she always yearned for.

And is that enough for her?

She gestures around, hands trying to encompass it all. “What more could I want? We’re all here, at last, together. I have you both. I have what I want.”

Yes!

Result!

Michael’s eyes shift to mine….

Definitely….
