Those great sad eyes of his were soft and wet round the edges. "I know I don't deserve a second chance. I'm not even asking for one. I just wanted you to know that it was cowardice not cruelty that made me push you away."
I took a deep breath, the first I'd managed since he came into the room. "You don't need a second chance because I never stopped loving you in the first place, but know this: if you ever push me away again, I'll go. If you want me, all you have to do is claim me. I've always been yours for the taking."
"Mine...mo anam cara..." He reached out a shaking hand and laid it against my cheek and that's all it took. My heart could belong to none but him.
