Every time her husbands gave her gifts or did something to make her life easier, she felt warm and happy. But because of that… she always felt like it wasn't enough, like she hadn't given them enough in return and she hated that feeling.
"Y-You don't understand," Roxanna finally said. She lowered her head as she spoke. "It's not that simple."
"Then help me understand," Azul said gently. He reached out and held her cheeks, lifting her face so she would look at him again. "Tell me what you're thinking. Tell me what you want."
Azul could hear her thoughts, yes… but even then, there were still things he couldn't fully understand.
