He sighed and moved so he could set his hand on her back. "See this is why I have George do these things. He's very good at the comfort. And the explaining."
He gave another sigh, "he is. But people like us, we get another chance because people believe. And through that, they shape us. I am vastly different from how I was in my youth. Tales of chivalry, of good King Richard, made me a better person. I am thankful for that. I understand my mistakes now." He rubbed her back and tried to give her a smile, "so thus my conflict about Robin. He does good things, he is a good person. But he's also a thief. My sense of justice gets irked by that. He's myth, where as I am history. I know I never met Robin in my life. But the tales me otherwise. It gets confusing."
"John should have told you this when you got serious. I always tell my partners when it gets serious. Didn't have to with Alex. He's like me. And much older too. Look this isn't all bad. There's some lovely people who will adore talking to you."
