"Let's get married if you're willing to, Tammy.”
The dark haze in Tammy's eyes was seemingly dispersed by the wind. She nodded in delight and was incredulous as she asked over and over again, "Really? Are you really willing to marry me? I'm not dreaming, a ml?"
Finn held her shoulders and said to her with great certainty, "I know how important a girl's innocence is, therefore I'll take responsibility for what I've done to you.”
After a pause, Finn said solemnly, "But I must make something clear. I’m not young anymore and I'm no longer a blank slate in the world of love. I once loved a girl dearly... but unfortunately, she has left me. I'm not sure if I can still fall in love with anyone else. Do you understand what I’m saying?"
Tammy knew that the girl Finn loved was her sister. Although she was envious of her sister for having all o f Finn's love, she knew better than to compete with a dead person.
Tammy shook her head vigorously. "Brother Finn, I don't care about your past. I only want your future."
She threw herself into Finn's arms with great
excitement and clutched his waist firmly.
At that very moment, Finn felt as though his world had lost its color and as though he was now imprisoned in a bottomless abyss for life.
He was so familiar with this feeling. This was the same feeling he had when he lost Sadie to a car crash i n his senior year of college.
Sure enough, he could never escape the shackles of imprisonment.
Finn was grateful that he had never given Zetty any hope.
He closed his eyes in despair...
Initially, he only hoped to raise Tammy and when she graduated from university and started a family of her own, he figured that he still stood a chance to regain his freedom.
However, things had come to this between him and Tammy.
