Five hours before the Test
Damien Wilson sits in his study, drinking his seventh glass of Absinthe. The greenish liquid would kill an ordinary man in the quantity that he consumes it, and Damien would like little more right now than to be dead.
Living hurts too much.
He cannot show weakness in front of his subordinates, but the pain of losing his wife cuts him to the bone. Lian turned away from him for another man, a man who died on his orders. He would give anything to hear Lian's voice right now, to kiss her hips and read to her.
But that cannot happen, because she is a world away from him.
He continues to drink, preparing himself for the test tonight. Perhaps he will know for certain if he can be with his wife again. The future is currently uncertain, but soon, he will know what it is.
He cannot lose Lian forever or his life is no longer worth living.
