Re: To Gem...?
Saint sat awkwardly in the kitchen for a few moments more after Gem left. He flinched as the front door slammed shut, as if she'd shut it right in his face, and still the silence consumed them all. It was what he expected, Wolf didn't trust him, or even like him and Libby...well despite saving her life Saint knew she would no more be comfortable with him if he'd been one of the Wolves all along. Looking awkwardly between a haggered looking Wolf and a rather perplexed Libby Saint decided to bite the bullet and go after his emotional little lady.
Rising he excused himself from the kitchen and strode to the front door, he then opened it without hesitation and found Gem with the dog's head in her lap and tears falling down her face. His heart shattered.
"Sweet, precious Gem," he practically fell to her side, "I know you need this, I do, I just-" he shook his head, "I'm sorry my love. I'm sorry for ganging up on you," the tears still fell, he clenched his fists. Now he'd gone and made his love cry, what use was he? Preaching the love of God to masses and yet he could barely treat his girlfriend with the love she deserved, "Seeing you like this breaks my heart,"
