Challenge: (Round 4 - Challenge 3): “Do you believe in true love? Have you ever felt it?”
Do I believe in true love? I’m not entirely sure. Love was not a subject taught about while I was training as a Companion and although I have, a few times, had feelings for men, I can’t say for sure that it was love that I felt and not just lust.
There is only one man that I’d consider that way more so than anyone else. Not that I’d ever tell him that. Nothing could ever work between us. I’m a Companion and he calls me ‘whore’. We argue over everything, no matter how small or insignificant. It’s intolerable!
He was broken in the war and never healed, as well. The man can’t let go of that time and leave the past in the past. While we’re both on the same ship, Serenity, we’re universes apart, really.
And of course, if I told him that I’m in love with him (not that I am in love with him!) he’d shut me down immediately. I just couldn’t take that. It’s better for me to leave love to those that can feel it without any complications blocking their way.
Anyway, I’ve said too much already. That’s my answer…
