"Abigail, I know what your thinking this is my fault. He is like this because his mind, heart, and soul, are healing. He is happy your here. Please understand he was a slave and unable to ask for his wants. This is hard for him. I have to undo years of what was beat into him. I cannot treat him as a slave and force him to satisfied my needs. He has to be given choices and be able to ask for his wants without being beaten. His mind is damaged and he needs love. Never leave him alone. You take him away will you be able to take is nightmares? I plead do not take him away. I beg you. He is crying because he had bad memories and I am trying to give him good ones. That is why I went in search of you. I want what I feel is best for him. I am not hurting him. His mistress and master hurt him enough. You take him from me will kill me." Tears swell in her eyes. "I love him. The last thing I want to is hurt him."<br/><br/>Kate held him tightly.
