He could feel the intensity of her emotions, mirrored in his own turbulent heart. Her whispered words hung in the air between them, each one a dagger edged with desire and pain.
He took a deep breath, steadying himself.
As she spoke of moving on, of needing to do something else, Marcel nodded slowly. He understood all too well the need for distraction, for action to drown out the chaos within.
