water-rippling music

"Very impressive, I must admit. Does that song mean something or should I not ask?" Riotier says as the others say there piece.

"It's the same song that a good friend sang to me long ago, the song that lead me to want to sing like this. That time was also the first time I felt love ... but he left town some time later and I never saw him again ..." Rachel admitted. looking out to the lake so she wouldn't really be looking directly at anyone.

"I would have never left my house again after he left, but that is if I was in the situation"
*wonders how Rachel ever did it.*

""im so sorry i shouldn't have asked" riotier replied as he steped up to her and placed what he hoped was a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Dracel knew the story of Rachel and he knew of her sadness. He knew he wouldn't be a replacement for the guy she loved but he could try. So after seeing his wife look so sad and depressed, he went over to his beloved and gave her a warm and soothing hug. If anything, she liked his hugs. He hoped she wouldn't react all destructive after all, they had lived together for years and knew a bit about each other. "That guy was and still is an idiot. Nobody would ever abandon you Rachel. Even if we do divorce and separate, I will still be by your side helping you in whatever way I can." Said Dracle as he pressed her to his quasi bear chest in an attempt to comfort her.

Rachel leaned in close to Dracel and smiles a bit. She knew he was just trying to help, no matter how she felt about him. She couldn't help but get mad at the first part of what he said though. "He had his damn reasons Dracel, don't talk about him that way!"

*Standing there looking at the two he wonders if they will ever feel the same way.*

"So guys I want to know how everyones day has been going."

Dracel just held his wife in his arms.

"I know he musta had his reasons. Nevertheless, dont you ever feel like you are not important...cuz to me you are." He whispered as he gentlly craddled her and made her feel loved.
