Sabine shook her head but didn't give voice (immediately) to the stubbornly protective denial that wanted to fly out of her mouth.
"Neither of us ever wanted to be together. He wouldn't be the man I fell for if he would've left his wife. And I wouldn't be the woman he loved if I could ask him to break a vow," she explained after a moment. "The thing is, that was fine. It was how it should be. He went back to his wife, and I fell in love with the telepath who'd been psi-bonded to me since we were thirteen and the Towers fell. Shola."
Tears sprang to her eyes at saying his name out loud, and the pain that ripped through her all but doubled her over. As it was, it took her a minute to catch her breath again. "I miss him, every second of every day, like you would miss Will. But... the one I couldn't have... if you haven't guessed by now, is Scott."
