*She surreptitiously wiped at her cheeks, wondering if he'd seen the tracks her tears had left*
"As well as I can, I suppose." Her voice wavered.
Dammit, I'm stronger than this.
"And you?"

*Philippe was silent for a moment.*
"I'm dieing."

*If she'd been holding something in her hands, she would have dropped it in shock just then. As it was, she bolted to her feet*
"What? NO!"

*Philippe continued, not allow himself to respond.*
"I do not know how long, it could be years. Or months, which is why I need to speak to you. About Jude."

*She wavered in place, wanting to grab him in a hug but afraid to even attempt it*
"Surely...Rebecca will be able to take care of him?" Her voice sounded small to her ears.

*Philippe looked back at her, his eyes oddly bright.*
"Perhaps though she has her own life. She will not know of my illness until... I just need to know that Jude will be safe."

((YOU ONLY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE PLOT TO GET THROUGH.Also, thinking Sorelli should reveal to Rebecca his illness in an angsty moment in which she also reveals that there was nothing happening between them because he was in love with Rebecca. In a sickbed scene would be super ))

((YES))
*She nodded, biting her lip to keep from breaking down again. She didn't want to cry, but this was Philippe, and he...he was...*
Dying.
*She blinked back the tears that threatend*
"If Rebecca can't take him, I could. I...maybe I could say I'm just a friend of the family..."

"Thank you."
*He answered quickly.*
"I can rest a little easier. Given the court proceeded involving the estate I do not know what I can do for him. I would not put you in this position if I could find another way."
*He looked up at her and saw her expression.*
"Come now, please don't cry. I'm not young Angel, it is not so tragic."

"It's not your age, Philippe. I still love you." She said softly.

((Assuming this is post Hill's thread.))
*And he knew how easy it would be to take that. To kiss her and take her home. But it would be hollow, to have someone because you do not want to be alone. To die alone.He did not think he could do that.*
"I know how that must hurt."
*He lifted a hand and gently touched her cheek.*

((Sounds about right))
*That little bit of contact could almost be enough to make her feel better. She thought, not for the first time, that she should have tried to make him stay, all those years ago...
But it was a bit late for regrets and might-have-beens*
"More than anything. And now, I...I lose you again."

*A tiny voice told him that she had never had him. Philippe nodded slowly before pulling her into a hug.*
"Sometimes, things are just not meant to be as we think they should."

*She clung for a moment, trying not to hug too fiercely. In her mind, one thought kept playing over and over*
Jude...Jude...will he ever know the truth of his parentage?
*Good to think of something else. To distract her from her breaking heart*
"You're right...it often goes far astray."
