Thad felt his own heart begin to break as reality sank in. The truth of everything, the restrictions of their world. Was there really a way. Could they really be together without raising suspicion? He didn’t know, but he was willing to find out. He was willing to give forever a try. No matter what. He wanted forever. Most of all he wanted it with her. He wanted to have her to himself. Even for a day.<br/><br/>Thad wrapped his arms around her in the fashion of a dancer and slowly began to lead her through the complicated twirls and steps of the dance to the imaginary music in his head. His eyes alight with passion he whispered<span style="color: #FFFF80">”You alone I trust,”</span>so that she was the only one who could hear his words.<br/><br/>As he spun her around the room as he thought about her words. He could almost see it inside his minds eye. The way the future would unfold. No one the wiser of the true love between them hidden in plain sight. He would play along and alone he would be her true husband. Regardless of the man she married he would be her husband. IN his heart he felt this as absolute truth. As he spun her around for another round he finally spoke.<span style="color: #FFFF80">”Together forever, until death do us part,”</span>he whispered first. Feeling as if his whole world was shifting into the passage of time.<span style="color: #FFFF80">”You know this could really work Cat. But what if you get pregnant with my child?”</span>he asked her. True worry creeping into his soft tone, because if he was truly honest with himself there was no way he life knowing he’d never be a father to his child. Or children. Whatever the case may be.<br/><br/>However, this could prove the very real possibility and then what. Thad tried to think about this logically, but he came up blank on that front. He closed his eyes to enjoy the dance a little more before he was forced to face reality. He smiled to the flow of their simple dance. How often he’d been her partner as she was taught to dance like a proper lady. How often her mother had corrected them with less then pleasant words. Yet the most perfect dance was in this simple moment. Without music, without words, without anyone watching. Simply them alone in the room to the beat of their own hearts.
