Honesty. Sometimes he hated himself for it, but he couldn’t lie to Al. “I want her, baby. And I love you. It’s as simple and complicated as that. Maybe it’ll change, she and I won’t always have this thing between us, but we do.”
Mac watched Al’s reaction, the quivering of the lip, the tears. “ Why not? I can do an us with Eothian back in your life. And, knowing his mouth as been over yours. I can do an us, even though all I have heard you say is jealousy and mistrust…”
His voice lowered and his gaze settled on Al. “I can do an us, even though I have not heard you utter once, that you love me.”
