Chapter Twenty Three – Appearances
Eva had slept most of the journey exhausted by the day, and everything she had gone through oblivious to the fact a tortured Marco sat watching her, longing to hold her in his arms, at war with himself, because he felt something, and he could not afford to feel for anyone, love, caring, feelings they were a weakness leaving a man vulnerable, had his father not told him many times, you do not develop feelings, as you will lose respect, and enable your enemies to have power over you.
Finally, the aircraft descended, and Eva woke up, as Marco reached over to put her seatbelt back on, his face inches from hers, he longed to just kiss her once more, the memory of her lips on his, ran through his mind, and he wanted, no needed to feel that once more.
