A Little Favor
Ever since the last time Ella was mad at Leon back at Beryl Hula island, he had never experienced her broken and angered expression towards him, until now. He could feel her pain and he was more troubled if any fragile part of her body was hurting due to the fall.
The fact that she was too angry or disgusted to look into his eyes was more torturing than the fact that he had done nothing to protect her.
"My love..." Leon didn't try to force her to look in his direction, "...please, forgive me! Tell me, what do you want me to do to make it up to you? I will do anything you ask right now."
Ella shut her eyes momentarily to cast out all the raging storms and pain within her. She didn't want to fight with her husband because of his mum and sister. After all, she was the one that told him to attend to his grieving family.
