Chapter 69 Wishing for Love

Russ grunted as he stared out over the strange new landscape. "What's on my mind? What... Who is always on my mind..." He ran both large hands through his hair. "I can't help but think I'm just wasting time sitting here, while she's out there with that asshole... possibly in danger..." He sighed loudly causing several birds that had been perched in a nearby tree to take flight. He watched as they flew into the clouded sky. "Rin, it's all my fault. I pushed and pushed... and even after I got her I... I..." He covered his face with his large palms. "I fucked up so bad."
