“Yeah and she told me all about her last relationship.”
“What about the other men, did she tell you about them?”
“I’m in love with this Kyla, not old Kyla.” He shifted on the sofa. “I’m not stupid. I told her if and when she feels comfortable talking about her past, we will. Personally, I have no desire to know about the men in her past.”
“You’re a better man than I am. I’m not sure if I’m ready to hear about Trina’s life before we got back together.”
“What did you do while you two were apart?”
“I dated some, but mostly I sat around kicking myself for letting her go.”
“You’ve got to stop blaming yourself. I think the reason you’re having a problem is because you blatantly went against God’s direction. You’ve allowed your guilt to turn into something else.”
“I don’t…”
“When I slept with Francesca, I knew it was wrong, but I did it anyway. The guilt wasn’t because of what happened, but because I knew I had disobeyed God. I had temporarily broken that tie.”
“You think that’s what it is?”
“Yeah. You didn’t listen to me and Jordan when we told you to stop running, and marry Trina. Instead, you broke up with her. Maybe she was vulnerable, maybe she was angry, I don’t know. And the only way you will, is to talk to her. Trust me. You’ll both feel better.”
“Yeah, well, we’ll see. We’re going to counseling.”
“Good. So are we.”
“You’re not married.” He was surprised at Sean’s statement.
“Considering our pasts, we thought it was the best thing to do. It’s been helpful.”
The door opened and Simon and Winnie ran in, and Sean helped them up onto the sofa. “We’re back.” Kyla walked down the hall to her bedroom before coming into the living room and kissed Sean.
“How was your walk?” he asked.
“Short. It’s cold. Simon and Winnie were shaking and dragging me back home.” She walked around, sat next to Sean and he wrapped his arm around her. “So is everything settled?”
“We’re getting there,” Sean replied.
Kyla got deeper into Sean’s side and wrapped her arms around him, inhaling his chest. “You smell good.” She shifted a little to get closer to his side. “I can’t wait until we get married and we can stay like this all the time.”
He kissed the top of her head. “Well, we can settle that in a couple of days if you want.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, we can get married in a couple of days and have this all the time, not just a couple of nights a week.”
She sat up and brushed her hair behind her ear. “What?”
“We can call Mike and have him come over and marry us.”
“Are you serious?”
“Yeah and then you and Winnie can move in with me and Simon and we can sit on the sofa like this every night.”
“You’re serious?”
“Yeah, aren’t you?”
She wasn’t quick to respond. “Yeah, but why a couple of days?”
