Claudia. Her name lingers in my mind like an echo. I sort of confessed to her today, but I think she understood what I was saying. It struck me like a bullet piercing my flesh as she said we were friends. I suppose all I can do is be her friend. Protect her from dangers of this life as best as I can, and keep my own heart locked away. It'll be hard though, watching her running off with someone else, if she stays with him. I shouldn't have been angry with her last night, I took it to far talking to her like that. I am torn between wanting her to have happiness and wrestling with a deep desire that I can't deny.
Jesse is his name, wealthy, polished, the kind of man who could provide her with comforts and security. A life that I cannot offer her. The way she was smiling today arriving back from spending time with him made me sick.
We went hunting today after Hosea forced us to go together, to work things out. We did. I'm her best friend, she said. I have only known her for 2 months and she has changed my life making me re-think what I am doing. But perhaps one day, in a different life, I could be more than a friend.
