The General

After earning a high title, I never thought I could fall in love. With a girl who could be my daughter. I never thought I could be swept away by love—to choke on it. And only when I made Ekaterina mine did I feel alive. This man presses on me. I feel him all the time and I’m afraid to the point of trembling. Powerful and strong—he fills all the space around. Only—how to handle the emotions and stand firm. But forgetting common sense, I reach for him like a moth flying into flame.
