"I was so scared" She admitted quietly

"So am I." He muttered,snapping his jaw shut.

Rose stayed where she was, her eyes closed and breathing in his scent

He kissed her neck again,sending vibrations through him as he did.

Rose felt a tear slwoly roll down her cheek, but she ignored it, feeling Caden kiss her neck again

Caden loosened his grip around her,pulling his head back to see her tear falling.He reached out,wiping it away with his thumb.His own eyes spoke a thousand words,a flood of things he could never figure out how to explain.Her singular tear,his singular life of trauma.Two unrelated topics,two things to thread two souls.

Rose gazed into his eyes, reading everything he showed her

Caden broke away from her,his hands sliding down her arms until they were at his side.He turned,calling Murphy behind him,and walked into his study,leaving the door open.Caden leaned on the doorframe,Murphy sitting next to him as they both gazed into the dust and paper littered area as the sun filtered through the windows.He waited until Murphy had walked inside before half shutting the door,letting out a low grunt as he picked up the dog,sitting in a chair overlooking a almost solid glass wall.Caden sighed,letting the dog settle in before allowing his eyes to become rivers,sobbing silently as Murphy accompanied him,one of the two sources keeping him alive.

Rose watched him leave and sighed slightly before going upstairs and curling up on the bed. She waited, anxious for her man to come upstairs

Murphy eventually hopped down,Caden wiping his face clean,his eyes still staying red though.He stood,stretching before locking the door behind him,tucking in the keys.He walked up the steps,into the bedroom and layed down next to Rose,resting his head on her shoulder, to shaken up to say anything.
