He told me he couldn't show me that he could dance. But he did. Oh, we danced. Danced around the immortal question, "What if?" Or perhaps a better word would be immoral. I don't know.
The way we act around each other, at least in private...I'll be the first to admit it's not proper for a commander and his lieutenant. But the proper term is another question. Lovers is not right. Friends? Perhaps, but that doesn't exactly seem to fit, either. Father-daughter? Again, it doesn't work. Whatever it is, I think Sabella would happily choke me if she knew.
I know he hates it, but I do worry. I am afraid that one day, the burden he bears will crush him. And he won't share. He's too proud for that, and I can understand that. I hate asking for help too. But what I'm really afraid of? Is that he will go insane, and he'll take me with him.
