Soothing, sighing, softening in the quiet night. Love will soothe us if we let it. As the river flows, so does the Love. All Knowing in its Infinite Kindness. All Present in its Infinite Knowing.
On that fateful night, Albert said, “But you must tell me, Rachel. I must know what happened.”
She was snuggled close, lying on his chest. Moments before he had been deep inside her, thrilling and chilling her. And they had joined once again, in that magical garden that only they could find.
“Rachel,” he said softly as he smoothed down her sumptuous hair as he was wont to do. The smoothness of her skin, the softness, set his soul a quiver. There was just something about her. Some Presence, some Force that drew men to her. This much he knew because he felt it so powerfully.
In the background, the rain beat softly on the windows.
It was quiet night.
“Will you tell me what happened to you?”
She rolled off him and sat up, naked and glorious, tears streaming down her lovely face.
“Oh my darling,” he cried, reaching out to touch her. It pained him so to see her like this because he knew she had been violated in some terrible way he could not fathom. But exactly how it had unfolded, he did not know. And know it, he must. It simply had to be. It was written in the stars… as much as the intertwining of their fates.
“You don’t want to know,” she said softly as he dried her tears.
“I know,” he said, “but I must. The man is so important to my business operations. You have to tell me, Rachel. You have too.”
She sought his arms as their lips met again, hungrily, as if the passion they felt could make the pain go away. But it couldn’t as they both knew.
Still they sought each other, entwined again, desperate for ecstasy and the blessed relief of forgetfulness, if only for a little while.
And when their hungry lovemaking was done, they lay together quietly in the soft, silent night for a long time. Lingering lovingly.
But he was mindful of some awful pain searing her insides. Just as she was mindful of some awful pain searing his insides.
Then, as the rain beat softly on the windows, she sat up, knowing she would have to tell him everything. Just as she knew that the Love was there, holding her firmly to the ground that he was to her. Yes, the Love that was theirs, the Love that was there to soothe and comfort and hold them both in this, their terrible hour of truth.
Yes, Rachel knew that Love would soothe them if they let it.
