Thank you to everyone who leaves comments, and visits every week.
Today I am sharing more from of my Valentine Story about the brother, Henri, of the hero, Liam, in my current novella, From Now Until Forever, published by Astraea Press.
“I have not been unaware of the burden you have carried since my heart attack a year ago. Combining your own commitments with those you took over while I recuperated would have felled a lesser man.”
Feeling the heat burn his cheeks, Henri shifted in his chair.
The past twelve months had been tough, and for the last six, his advisors almost competed with each other in counselling him to slow down unless he wanted to occupy his father’s hospital bed.
“I am also aware you have ignored their advice to cut back. So I am decreeing that of this moment you are on indeterminate leave of absence.”
You'll find plenty more great offerings at Six Sentence Sunday

But is that what he wants? Wonder if everything would fall apart without him. Maybe a compromise, Dad?

Like his brother before him, Henri doesn't think his father has his best interests at heart!
