Chapitre 1926: Embarrassing

Eska cupped Ryu's face in her hands. The care and concern in her eyes was clear, almost to the point it nearly made Ryu a bit uncomfortable. He had never seen those eyes from anyone but his mother and grandmothers, and that was about enough of an explanation for why he wouldn't want to see them from his wife. 

But he quickly realized that it was even deeper than that. He didn't want to see such pity and guilt in the eyes of his women. Originally, he didn't even want to speak about these things at all. If it wasn't for the fact he could see that it would make Eska sad if he didn't, he wouldn't have said anything at all. 

But now that he had, whether he wanted to originally or not, there was some of his burden being placed onto her shoulders.
