Sin smiled at him as she played with it. "Its soft like tiger's fur..." Riley kissed him back. Maddie giggled and nodded. "Okay daddy."
"You won't be on the list because you're here. He wants to show you he cares, he just doesn't know how." Marcus says looking back at Arija, brushing a thumb across her cheek. Rowena glances across at Cece "why are we still here?" She whispers.
Arija closed her eyes as tears fell. "I wish I could just hold him..." Cece: "sorry.... was analyzing Terry. He's harmless.... unless you hurt Arija."
Arija sat up as more fell. "But its too late... I missed so much in his life..." Cece: "lets go." She teleported back to the mansion
"But there's so much more to go. It wasn't your fault." Marcus says quietly. Rowena teleported back to the mansion, appearing beside Cece.
"Then he wouldn't be here for you to hug." Marcus replies. "What?" Rowena asks, her head tilted slightly.
Arija: "If he could only hear how sorry I am and how much I regret not being their for him all these years.... for all the hurt.... and pain... and tears.... for everything.... I regret it all... I just wished.... I just..." She cried harder. Cece arched a brow at her. "What are you thinking?"
Marcus pulled her close, kissing her hair "he knows you had no choice. He knows you were selfless and wanted him to live. Just give it time, I don't think it's sunk in yet." Rowena chuckles "why do you want to know?"
Marcus hid his face in her hair "you know I never got round to doing your hair." He teases lightly. Rowena looks away "what did you mean by earlier?"
Marcus chuckles before kissing her hair. Rowena's cheeks turn a light pink "when you said you'll sleep with me if I go." She looks back at Cece, meeting her eyes.
Arija smiled up at him. "I'll never understand why you chose me instead of your first wife." Cece: "I wanted to ensure you were safe."
Marcus smiles, cupping her cheek "you saved me when I had nothing." He says quietly. Rowena glances away briefly "why?"
Arija looked away. "Thats when you lost her..." Cece: "be honest do I look like the kind of person who will let others get hurt?"
"The pain I had when I lost you was more powerful, that's how I knew it was only ever going to be you." Marcus replies. Rowena shakes her head "I can take care of myself."
Arija kissed him. "I love you." Cece walked up to her and touched a strand of her hair. "Then why are so concern about what I said earlier?"
Marcus smiles "I love you too." Rowena looks back at Cece "I feel like you want something from me." She says quietly.
