Gwendolyn bit her lip fretfully. He said that she was more than he deserved, but in her heart, she felt differently. “You deserve to be married, Cam.” Her eyes searched his, and tears welled in her gaze the longer she thought of it. “You deserve to have children. You deserve to love in open.” She nestled forward to press kisses to his cheeks.<br/><br/>“You have made my dreams come true, being with me this way. But I cannot help but imagine if I’m taking something away from you.” Her hand slid up his chest to caress his cheek with her palm. “After all you have done for my parents and for me... you deserve some semblance of a normal life. You will find no such thing with me.”
