Blaze: Chapter 40

This chapter takes a VERY LONG TIME to get anywhere, so i'll do my best to make it shorter (and therefor better! Thank god i'm here.) Blaze asks Lydia what she should do about Hazard. Lydia says she needs to stop worrying cause Hazard loves her, no question about it. Blaze is skeptical but hopeful. Hazard comes back from his walk, eats a lot of dinner and we learn that Hazard knows Lydia from when he was 15. Blaze is fascinated by the tales Lydia has to tell about Hazard and listens to her stories deep into the night. It gets late and Hazard says he's going to sleep outside and everyone should get some shut eye. Lydia isn't going to have any married couple sleeping in separate beds in her home (EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THEY AREN'T REALLY LEGALLY MARRIED HAS EVERYONE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS?!) so Hazard better bunk up with Blaze or he'll get what's coming to him. Hazard acquiesce the command and heads to bed with Blaze. Blaze gets in bed and Hazard in beside her and they just lay there. Blaze realizes that she's really lost Hazard FOREVER and begins to cry silently. Hazard eventually hears her and his heart goes out to her. Hazard pulls Blaze into his arms and she sobs and sobs, saying how tired she is of resisting and being strong. Hazard feels like a fool and says he will be strong for both of them and the baby from here on out. They say more things about needing each other and being strong together and Blaze reminds him that she didn't write the note he thinks she wrote. Hazard, STILL NOT BELIEVING HER, says it doesn't matter, he DOESN'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT. So instead of talking it out they fuck and everything is as it once was. Hoo-fucking-ray.
