“We’re always going to make sure you get some sunshine, James. We’re..we’re always going to be there for you,” Her voice faultered making her stumble over the words. She wanted to be there. She’d always try to be, but the choice wasn’t always in her hands. Cherry pressed her lips together, looking up at her cherished friend. “You always make me happy, James. Always,” She reached up and brushed his hair away from his brow tenderly. “I’d be happy if I could be with you,”
He didn’t often do emotions, it really wasn’t his thing but with Cherry it was impossible not to. They had been close for too long for him to not feel upset whenever she was. He would be lying if he said he understood everything about property submissives, but he did know that Cherry was worth so much more than that title. “And eventually you will. You’re not going to be there forever.”
