" Drop your shield, love. Put your hands down. All the way.”
“I’m scared.”
“Voice your fears. Let’s put them out there. Face them, together.”
It took her a moment to meet my gaze. “Will you break my heart again?”
“Never.” I’d die first.
“Will you leave me?”
“Never.” Not willingly. Not until the end.
“Will you stop loving me?”
“Never.” My love for her had no end. I’d love her in this world and the next. “Never, Tally. Never.”
Tears welled in her eyes. “I love you. Only you. Always you.”
Victory
This fight was over.
“I love you, Talia Eden "
