This topic seemed to hunt him forever. Admitted it had not been the greatest idea although out of noble reason. But maybe he should put it away once and forever. <br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"Tania, when I said those words I meant them. First Karra and me had not been a couple at that time, so I wasn't really unfaithful, although I admit that I had told her some moments earlier that I love her. Not the best thing to tell as a follow up. Still I had my reasons for saying it, even if it had not been my best idea ever. I knew if I would lose one of you folks on this planet, it would be always a shadow on my love to Karra. Maybe I was a little bit too determined to get you all through this shit.<br/>But there is another reason, why I said it..." </span><br/><br/>Tom pulled his shoulders up and prepared for the hit to come next. From Karra. <br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"...if Karra would have continued to treat me like shit and to be flippant like the odd teenager left out at the dance, then maybe I would have given up to convince her of my love. I had not the power to keep all you folks alive and to got through fight over fight with Karra. And then most likely I would have run after you, Tania. I have noticed your look in the terminal and it felt damn good, I have to admit that. It was a long time that a woman looked at me like you did." </span><br/><br/>Tania looked flabbergasted. Maybe because Tom had noticed or maybe because she had wished it to come true. Tom didn't know.<br/><br/><span style="color: #80BF00">"Oh...." </span><br/><br/>It was one word that escaped her and one word that told all the story. He could see that her eyes filled with water, but she quickly blinked the tears away. It was the moment when Tom knew that Tania would have liked to be at Karra's place. And if he would have met her two years ago it may have happened.</div>
