"Of course, my love." Thomas nodded. "I promise I will tell you everything, in time. I don't want to overwhelm you all at once." He wanted desperately to tell her there was a way around the curse, they could be together again, but he knew she would want to find a third right away, and he knew she wasn't strong enough for that. He would wait, until she was a little stronger, at least.
"Eat, Justine. A little more." Thomas took a healthy bite of his breakfast. He'd always been a hearty eater, and he wasn't about to stop now. "You need to do everything you can to keep your strength up." He hadn't been with her at this point, back home, but he knew she needed to eat.
