It may seem that the grief, the long loneliness, have drained you... yet two thousand years is not old. There may still be another female out there for you.

She cat the most unexpected tand brought light back into my life. She filled it with color once more." A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. "Today, I feel younger than I have in ages.

Herod stood unmoving, staring at nothing.
"Your Grace! It's an honor to have you in our home,” he heard his son's shout, his tone nervous and overly earnest. "Please, forgive my father all his transgressions, and do not take his life away. He truly doesn't know any better.
