Leaving The Country After Divorce

Lucian's embrace was a tight one, for he was terrified that she would leave. “Don't go.”

He yearned to see her. He wanted to feel her in his arms, but he was afraid that he would frighten the children, so he had to restrain himself from doing so.

Now that Roxanne had come, there was no way Lucian was going to let her go easily.

Roxanne did not know whether it was just her hallucination or not, but she sensed that Lucian seemed anxious.

After a second of hesitation, she raised her arms to return the hug and whispered, “I'm not going to leave. I wanted to say that I'll be waiting downstairs if you're not free.”

She was there for the children, after all; she would not leave in peace until she received answers to her questions.
