He took her hand in his, he was so confused of the way she reacted. He probably should of told her  sooner. He  didn't really lie to her per say,but he did withhold the truth. That was pretty much  the  same as lying in his eyes. He guided her back into the house, helping her  settle down somewhere. "I am so sorry Christine. From your reaction to my story, I am guessing you are not very happy with me  hiding this for you as long as I did. But, do you understand why I did it? I was  fearful. I loved you and I thought I would lose you."<br/>Leigh  glanced away, he felt terrible...he felt like a  bad person. If only he could read her  thoughts! As he glanced, he  saw  a  strange wisp of what seemed to be  smoke nearby. And  a chill went over his body.<br/>"Did you, did you see that?"<br/>It was probably his imagination, he  was  so upset  that  he was imagining things. He  settled next to her, taking a deep breath to relax himself.He  closed his eyes for a moment, and he felt what seemed to be a hand grabbing his leg. He opened them, and  swore he saw blood leaking out of  the floorboards. He shook his head  and it was  gone like that.<br/>"Man I must be  really upset. I guess I fear because of what I said, you will leave me. Oh Christine, I would break if you did that."
