He didn’t acknowledge my snarky response. “The reality of my situation has required me to make adjustments. I am only capable of being in half of your life, at best. Should you lose a loved one, the service would likely be during the daylight hours when I could not attend. When I worried you were ill, I had to send you for tests alone as I couldn’t accompany you. That is the reality of what I can and cannot offer, and it means I have been forced to recognize some benefits to such an…” He paused as if looking for the right word. “Arrangement. It isn’t what I expected, but perhaps it is what would work.”
“So you’re saying you’re fine with it?”
“I am saying that if the choice is between sharing you and losing you, I am willing to try whateverlets me have you.”
It wasn’t his words that got me, it was how he said them. Kase was a hard man to read, and a harder one to trust, however in that moment, I believed every word.

So even though I’d rather stay there and never stopping kissing Kase, it seemed we needed to be responsible.

And that was something worth saving the world for.
