Mathew opened the door and let his face drop to the floor when he saw I waited up for him and then he slowly said.
"You shouldn't have waited up for me. It's late."
"Yes I know it's late Mathew the reason I waited up is becuase I want to know what is keeping you from me. So what is it? What is wrong?"
Mathew walked slowly over to the couch sitting as far as he could away from me carefully avoiding touching me.
"I got news today that a woman is claiming that I got her pregnant and that I am the father of her baby. I knew the woman long ago and we met up a few months ago so i don't know if it's true or not. I was ashamed to face you when i found out becuase I didn't want to hurt you. Then I found out that my ranch is failing without me and some numbers are not adding up so I need to move you to a different town or set you up in your own living space." Mathew sounded so sad . I took him in my arms and let him lay his head on my shoulder. I heard him whisper in a rough voice.
"I am so sorry." Then he turned his face in where i couldn't see him.
"It's ok everything will be fine. I don't know how but I know it will we have god to be there with us. He will never forsake us or leave us through our trials and tribulations."
I don't know how long we stayed there like that but soon we both fell asleep together on that little couch.
