Re: Henry T
Henry shook his head firmly. "Love her? What on Earth are you talking about, son? It's not about that. Anything you think I'm doing, it's only because I don't think she would-- What I mean is, that I don't want her to--" He grit his teeth, trying to rein in his confusion and irritation with the whole situation and marshal his thoughts. "I'm only protecting her because--" Henry stopped as he found himself unable to battle against his son's logic.
"Oh, hell." He sighed. "Fine. Clearly, I have... affections for her. This complicates things immensely."
He put a hand on Henry's. "I appreciate your honesty, son. But the truth is that I do like my life, I always did enjoy being, well... at liberty. But I also find myself wishing for something different as well."
