They’d stayed in bed for hours, loving, exploring, and talking. Luc had gently questioned Esther about her time in Perdigo, and despite her obvious attempt to downplay her circumstances, what she’d told him had just about broken his heart. Several times, Luc had been on the verge of telling her that he’d stayed close, often watching her from afar for hours at a time. But his cowardice for not approaching her ate at him. He’d come to realize it would have been worth any punishment to be with her, loving her and easing her loneliness during the last couple of years. Times when he’d found her crying because the ass-wipes around her treated her like an oddity, a dangerous person to know, he’d been on the verge of flinging off the bonds holding him away. He’d been so close to making himself known to her. Once or twice he’d taken that step, walking up to her and asking how she was. But he hadn’t told her how he felt. He hadn’t stayed and held her until she stopped feeling alone.
