A woman stood, smiling with adoration at the baby in her arms. Suddenly, she turned, showing her angelic face. Her eyes were large, beautiful, brown eyes, but terror displayed across her face.

She was the essence of him and yet she, beautiful sad eyed angel that she was, was also his destruction all at the same time. He could be a downright wretch of a man, yet she took it into herself, and never said a word, but to love him. It was the love that broke him. ↗
