Sage heasitated for a moment, not entirely sure how to comfort her. He had all the same worries, really. "You won't," he noted firmly after a moment. "I won't let her break apart our family."
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"But we don't know that, Sage..." she whispered, sniffling.
|
|
|
| |

|
Sage pursed his lips slightly shaking his head. "We're going to stay together," he noted. "No matter what. I'll make sure of that."
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"... you don't know what she'll do, Sage... if she catches you..."
|
|
|
| |

|
Sage just shook his head. "She won't catch me," he noted. "I won't let her break this family apart."

|
Celeste just whimpered, burying her face in his shoulder.
|
|
|
| |

|
Sage just hugged her tighter, nerves churning in his gut. He knew this would be dangerous.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
|
| |

|
He held onto Celeste just as tightly, not wanting to let her go. He wished they could just have a peaceful life together ....that none of this was happening.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
Celeste held onto him tight.
