Lover Reborn teaser

She approached him slowly and unevenly and sat at the desk beside him. “I am so sorry.” When he seemed a bit surprised, she shrugged once again. “How can I not offer condolences in the face of your loss? In truth, after seeing you both together, I don’t think I shall ever forget how much you loved her.” After a moment, he murmured hoarsely, “That makes two of us.” -Lover Reborn

"As he smiled at her, his expression was that of a holy man. “My name’s Lassiter, and I’ll tell you all you need to know about me. I’m an angel first and a sinner second, and I’m not here for long. I’ll never hurt you, but I’m prepared to make you pretty goddamn uncomfortable if I have to, to get my job done. I like sunsets and long walks on the beach, but my perfect female no longer exists. Oh, and my favorite hobby is annoying the sh*t out of people. Guess I’m just bred to want to get a rise out of folks—probably the whole resurrection thing.”

What made taking in and loving John as a son so easy for you?


That’s an easy question actually. You see before our transitions hit, we’re very weak. Vulnerable. And even afterwards can be the same since our bodies are adjusting to all the new senses, plus the height and weight that get instantly added; John reminded me of myself. He was weak, but very strong minded. Prideful, which is never a bad thing. I was the same way in many ways.

Like I said, I saw myself inside of him. We just clicked. It felt right. And his father Darius would, no, there’s no doubt in my mind that he is looking over and proud of what myself and..Wellsie gave him. It was my turn to do something for my best friend now that he was gone. They share the same deep blue eyes that look like they’ve seen hell and back. He’s so much like Darius it was like having my friend back.

To this day I regret how I left him there alone. -rubs his neck- It’s hard to think about it, but we’ve made up and are slowly rebuilding where we left off. I’m just glad he survived without me there and met Xhexania. Perfect match. I’ll always consider him my son.
