Tiger Lily
I was never meant to have an easy life. That much had become clear to me over after dealing with the unrequited love I felt for my sons' father over the years. Just when everything seemed to finally fall into place, and happiness was within reach, tragedy struck and brought misery, confusion, and pain with it. There was a moment, when even I questioned whether Merc and I were ever truly supposed to be together.

Merc
We were making it work and I had fallen in love with my wife and the mother of my two sons. That was something I never thought would happen, until I stopped fighting the inevitable and started fighting for what was right. We were right. Then we suffered losses. I stumbled. When I was ready to fight again, she lost all faith. Ours was never an easy love and time never changed that. It also never changed what I felt for y Tiger Lily, even when she wasn't so sure. I let her keep her secrets so that we might know a few years of peace. That was how I loved my wife right up until the end.
