The Worth of the Villainess

The sob he must have been holding back all this time finally breaks free and he leans his forehead to my shoulder. His voice is broken. A man in agony.

He sobs helplessly, and I realize then...I don't remember a time where I saw him so broken and defeated.

"L-...Lucas..."

He rambles through his tears. "I should have tried harder. I should have been stronger. I should have found the words to prove it, but...but I..." He raises his head, meeting my eyes.

"I love you. Diane. I love you so much I can't take it. Please. Even if you don't love me back, I beg you...let me live in a world with you."

He sniffles. His face is red. His eyes are bloodshot.

It makes my heart ache.

All I want to do is cry.

He looks down at our clasped hands.

I stare at his face, searching for the lie, for the joke, for the trick, but all I see is his genuine despair.

"Can I have that much, Diane?"
