"Matymbou says you are to be guarded at all times."
Lois had expected that from her husband.
Okay, Lois’s husband is around. And protective! Well, as I said in my part 2 feedback, this story is not going the direction I expected.
But he refused to embrace the relief; instead, he steeled his heart to remain cold and his body aloof.
He did not want her anymore. He would not accept anything from her.
He thinks this is Lana? Interesting… I can’t imagine that Lana ever touched him in a way that would lead him to think this was her, even if he was delusional.
She had left him. Betrayed him. Lied about him. Destroyed him. Deserted him.
All his life, he had craved belonging and acceptance.
Now, he craved isolation.
Wow! Lana hit him really hard. But since they were married, and he saw her as his one real link to the world, that is reasonable.
Lois looked down into his face, seeing it fully for the first time.
She gasped.
His eyes were open!
Of course they were.
