Love’s Fortune
             “I love you” I whispered and he went rigid, his head snapped up and his blue eyes darkened.
              “Don’t you ever say that” he growled, clenching his fist
              “Why?” I asked and held his hand, he averted his gaze, staring at his former love grave.
               “I can’t love” he said, “I am just a zombie, My heart died with her years ago” Arthur said, pointing at the grave, he looked at me studying my face, “Just don’t say that again please” 
              “It’s okay” I said softly, “But it just don’t change the fact that I love you. And I am ready to be a good wife” I said, Arthur gaze hardened.
              “That’s your problem,” Arthur said, “I don’t want you to say that, and know your place”
              His statement hurt, but I faked a smile, and he nodded and walked away, I stared at his lover’s grave and dropped my necklace on it.
              Maybe she was worthy to wear that more than I.
