Starcrossed

 Ginia is tired.......................tired of the deception, tired of pretending Toross, the love of her life, her child's father, is something he is not...........uncaring and dangerous to her and her child. Yes, she agreed to the deception, for her child's sake. Toross was convinced, when he learned of her pregnancy that they must make the world believe that he threw them away.  His family, and his place, his job within it was too dangerous. Their plan worked.............Joran certainly believes his father is an unfeeling, uncaring, bigoted monster. Appearances can be deceiving, especially when they are carefully crafted to appear that way.


Stolen moments, brief and clandestine were no longer enough for Ginia. Toross tried to encourage her to move on, to leave him behind, and she tried..........for years she tried to live without seeing him. She could never give herself over to another when her heart truly belonged to Toross though and eventually they fell into the pattern of meeting once or twice a year in obscure locations, but it was not enough.  She is convinced they need to let Joran know his father is not the man he was made out to be, that the only reason he left them was for their own safety.  Grayson knows, and it is unfair to expect him to continue, to keep their secret and be dishonest, by ommission, with Joran. 


Once again, Toross does not want to discuss it.



And once again she doesn't want to fight with him on their brief time together.


So she lets it go..............but secrets always have a way of coming out, and she fears for her relationship with her son if this one somehow comes to light.
