The sage (Prologue)

John putted his phone away when Jessica came to bed, she seemed worried, he could feel that in her breathing and in the way she is getting next to him, he knows her well. She, as well felt that John wanted to talk, so she started:
“Do you think is time to tell him?”, she softly said.
“Twenty years went really fast, and we never had the courage to face the reality, but he should know the truth, he will know it one day but it will be less shocking if we do reveal it”, john replied.
John stared at his wife’s blue eyes, he is sure she is not ready for this, but yet deeply he knew she would beat her emotions and do what they have to do. He caressed her cheeks and wiped her face from tears. A bit long silence came by staring at each other’s eyes when Jessica approached his face and kissed his lips and said “You know that i love you both more than anything else in this world, I loved you since the day we first met, and I loved Taylor since the day we found him, I always felt that he is blood of my blood even if he wasn’t our true-born, and I knew that day will come”
Jessica was a pretty woman, her long red hair was like a crown on her head, john always told her that she is kissed by fire, and indeed people kissed by fire are like flames, lighting the way of their partners and warm providers in the cold nights. John loved her too by all of his heart and he would always tell her that he is ready to protect her by his life, he was a strong man, apparently scary but such a kind soul inside. They used to work together twenty years ago in Nuke, a far town in the east that almost no one knows it even exist, and now they are both in their 40s, living a normal life, north of the country, that any old couple with a good fortune would live.
“We will tell him the truth tomorrow Jessica” decided John.
Jessica nodded her head “Yes Honey”.
John cuddled his lady and whispered in her ear “let us rest now, we need to be strong tomorrow”, and so they did.
