“I’m glad you did. And then today, I blinked, and you were in my arms, and all I could think was that I’ve spent a significant amount of time trying to change what I feel into something else, and I can’t. I am so tired of denying myself, Feyi. Not even for my children. Not after giving up Devon. There’s not enough life to keep living like that, so yes, it will hurt my son, but I want you. I want you for myself, and that, that is why I kissed you.”
