Diablo
She didn’t know I was there, Gabrielle was so engrossed in the horror story Dewi was telling her. The horror story of her entire life that she hadn’t noticed me standing in the doorway of her room.
It gave me a chance to look at her. Really look at her in the first time in what seemed like forever. And it was like looking at her with fresh eyes. It reminded me of the moment I had first really noticed her.
She had been playing pool. Had just had a hair cut. I had felt her pull before that, long long before that but that was the moment I realised she was mine.
I had been angry about it. I had thought her heart belonged to the man sat in front of her. I had cursed fate that they would give me a woman who would never truly be mine.
But she did love me, I knew that. She loved me
