It was tempting. So tempting to give in. Alexey seemed to want her, really want her. And Adelaida, more than anything wanted to be wanted. Still, their fight, not talking for so long and the bitterness between them when they did talk, it had been too much. Too painful. The foul memories were hard to erase, and the severed ties between them couldn’t just be stitched back together. It would take work, and Adelaida was afraid that they, and mostly just herself, were not up to the challenge.
“Alexey...” It was hard to decide what to do. Running away, to wherever, maybe really to Kata, was an option. The easy option, and for so long she had been taking the easy option. Staying was hard, but maybe it would be more rewarding. Maybe they three, Alexey, Sankor and herself, could have what they had once. That would be the best reward, better than anything else Adeladia could imagine. Adelaida didn’t know if it was even possible. “Are we ever going to be us again?”
