his woman was gone ; he would be his own man now , for there was nothing left but his own decisions , his own feelings , his own very private sense of what was right and what was wrong . as soon as he realizes youre running , hell come after you , so dont look back to see if im okay . new couples married from time to time , but still we waited . she didnt want to do that . he licked his lips while a shot of desire wedged in his gut and would n't let go .
