Morgan called. A year to the day from the last time we spoke. She is coming over. She said, "We need to talk." And I almost passed out from holding my breath.

When I see her face and hear her voice I freeze, as if I'm waiting for her to give instruction. She has enamoured me from the beginning and as hell bent on forgetting her as I was, I immediately revert back to that man. The one who wanted her more than he wanted air in his lungs, more than he needed the family business or his many practices.

For her I would have given it all. I'll have to wait and see what sort of man I am this time around.
