The Faint of Hearts by Garrett Mazzuca (electric book reader .txt) 📕

, Virgil thought. He needs her love more than I do. I'll find my happiness somewhere else, though it's hard to believe it's possible. I will be Calin's brother and if he ever calls on me I will be there for him.

Virgil strengthened his expression, his resolve and loyalty redoubling.
Maybe it's the nature of men to be cowards, to have what they want and throw it away out of fear of consequence. Virgil laughed to himself. Perhaps he ruined his chance at love for a man who already had his chance. Maybe he deserved better but was too afraid to let himself.
Maybe I deserve to be called the Faint of Hearts

, Virgil thought as he walked deeper into the cold, numbing rain.
