Nightmares on a Snowy Lane

Delphine

Delphine smiled at his reaction, nuzzling against his chest as they settled once more. His question... made her sigh. It was a fair question, and she knew he had a right to ask it. How often had he found her like that?

"Because... I deserve it, for everything I've done." She murmured, reaching to tug her fingers through his hair. "Too many things done wrong. Besides, it helps me... forget everything, for a moment." She tried to explain, failing miserably, and a bit too focused on the way he had gripped her, was running his hands down her back now.

How can I begin again?
How can I try to love someone new,
someone who isn’t you?
