章 128: Stay With Me

"Althea said I would forget you too... How can you... how can you live, knowing that the person you love the most doesn't even know who you are?" Lorelai sobbed, her words blending together in a broken mess. "I don't want to hurt you, Rhaegar... I don't want you to ever hate me because of this... I was a fool to ask you... But I couldn't help myself... I'm scared to forget you too."

Her tears seemed endless, pouring out the anguish she had carried for so long. She cried so hard that her face flushed with the weight of her sorrow. Seeing her like this, Rhaegar's lips quivered as if he wanted to speak, but he stopped himself, choosing instead to tighten his arms around her, offering what little comfort he could.

She clung to him, pouring out all the emotions she had kept hidden—everything she had never been able to say. And it was all about him.
