74. Extinguish
We sat for a long time, holding each other, both crying. After all I had done to extinguish the passion I felt for her, here I was holding her. This was a mistake.
“Did you mean it Remus? When you said you couldn’t ever love me?”
“It’s not a matter of love. I’m too old, too poor, too dangerous for you. You need someone young and free.”
She kissed me. Her lips felt glorious and I returned her kiss. Everything else fell away.
Reality came crashing in. I pushed her backwards, feeling bereft of her touch.
“I can’t do this.”
