Excerpt
Some awkward emotion pulled at the corners of her chapped lips, some disturbing thing that caused her to want to laugh off his words as an obvious statement. "That I could love a man like him?"
Turning her head slightly to give the doctor a brief look at her soft eyes, she noticed the rigid set of his shoulders, the seriousness of his attentive posture. He was on edge and she'd been the one to make him that way.
A new guilt rode her, and one she hoped could be lessened with a simple acknowledgement of his concern. "I didn't love him for the abuse, Doc. That's not something that makes you love a person, is it?"
Rather than responding, the doctor sat motionless in his seat, patient and waiting for whatever explanation she would give.
Returning her attention to the hair she continued toying over her fingers, she said, "I didn't love him for that. I loved him because he was dangerous enough to chase away the nightmares." As an afterthought, she added, "He was dark enough that he overshadowed my light, and the nightmares couldn't find their way.”
