His eyes shifted downwards for a split second before they return back to hers, expression guarded. "I can't be..." The struggle for words continued as he pushed onwards. "I don't do love, can't." Revealing nothing about his inner-workings he decided to continue. "I won't be able to be anything more than... this." He nodded his head at her, trying to explain that whatever was happening now was as far as it would get. He wasn't here for anything past a friendship and maybe casual intimacy. Suddenly, the stallion felt very young, the world had not yet taken it's toll. Maybe with time he'd to love. For now, love was still not a thing for the dark Casanova.
"I won't leave you though. I'll still be here." Did she know the weight those words held? He would be here. All his life, Caleb had never stayed in one place long, yet here with Rexanna he has said he will not leave. Somewhere in the far back of his mind, he knew Rexanna was never his to begin with. She was the world's, she would find someone stronger, braver, smarter than him. She was destined for something greater than Caleb and Henrietta.
