I’ve Learnt My Lesson

"What did you just say?" It is most likely I didn't hear him well. Have I started hallucinating?

The proud Shawn who valued his image more than anything in the world was ready to take in children that he knew nothing about and might probably hate? This is unbelievable.

"I said what you just heard, Kathleen and I mean it from the depth of my heart. If getting you by my side will require me to take in the children, I am willing to do so. I love you Kathleen and I can't live without you."

Staring deep into Kathleen's purple orb which held an uncanny guardedness against him, he wanted her to see that what he was saying originated from the depths of his soul and not just lip service.

The more he looked at her the more convinced he was that he was doing the right thing. Maybe this would move her heart to forgive him.

That was the biggest sacrifice he could make for the woman he loved. All he hoped and wished for was a second chance.
