[Ashley] #OUTLANDERReadAlong Claire, I want you to leave me. Go back to Scotland, to Craigh na Dun. Go back to your place, to your....husband. Murtagh will take you safe, Ive told him. He was silent for a moment, and I did not move. He looked up again with desperate bravery, and spoke very simply. I will love you as long as I live, but I cannot be your husband any longer. And I will not be less to you. His face began to break apart. Claire, I want you so badly that my bones shake in my body, but God help me, I am afraid to touch you! I started up to go to him, but he stopped me with a sudden motion of his hand. He was half doubled up, face contorted with internal struggle, and his voice was strangled and breathless. Claire...please. please go. Im going to be verra sick, and I dont want you to see it. Please. I heard the pleading in his voice and I knew I must spare him this one indignity, at least. I rose, and for the first time in my professional life, left a sick man to his own devices, helpless and alone.
