He sat alone, a lit candle on the table. After everything that he had seen and done, Alex wasn't much of a religious man, but on this night, he felt that he needed to say something.

"I don't know what has happened to her soul, but if there is a God, I pray to him to keep it safe. So many things happened in her life that she deserves some peace now. Please look after her."

He sat in silence, remembering all the little things about her. How her hair shone like spun gold. How gentle her hands felt when they touched his face. How soft her lips were on his. How she had never truly been his.

He felt a tear roll down his cheek and brushed it away angrily with the back of his hand. He had no right to cry for her. She was his brother's wife and no matter the circumstances, she always would be.

That didn't stop him from loving her. He had loved her since they first met and would continue to love her until the day he died.

He sat, watching the candle until it melted down.

"Merry Christmas, Jean. I love you."
