I shouldn't be opening up to him, he will just hurt me. He will leave me like all the rest. I don't know if I can take it. I've fallen in love with a man who will only bring pain. Is it even love? Am I just that desperate? Mr.Taylor walked in on the awkward silence and placed two plates on the table, each one consisting of a piece of bread and a beef soup, not thin enough to be considered a stew. We sat there in silence while eating. I tried to fill the silence that was warping and twisting around me, "Are you excited? For the position I mean." I asked. "Very, I will be able to protect the king just as my father did." he continued, "though I probably will never be able to come back here." I watched him trying to tell if he was lying. He was not, my intuition was correct, he was going to leave me. Even though I'm not surprised it still hurts. I didn't even know if he returned my affections, and yet I had still hoped.
