TOB 42: US TOGETHER
CHAPTER FORTY – TWO: US TOGETHER
ROSE’S POV
My husband is now my guard. I doubt that it will ever return to normal. We're not your typical married pair after all. Our world is not a fairy tale, and we did not begin in the typical way. However, once he said that he left me because he believed I was unkind to him, something inside of me began to change. It has something to do with that, his pledge to never visit me again, or the fact that he risked his life twice for me.
He was willing to accept death in my place.
A part of me, the one that Dedushka conditioned to always have a healthy dose of skepticism, tells me I shouldn't put this much faith in Ethan. I shouldn't trust him with my life the way I previously did. The other, more deranged part, though, the one that falls into his arms each night, wants to be with him always. When I don't see him for a few hours, that pa

They exhibit emotions that I have never seen before."What are you doing to me? Who are you? ”"Ethan is my name. Your husband,"She gave her head a very little shake.
