Chapter 425: I Love You

Walker's POV:

"I love you."

"You love me?"

"Loving you is dangerous," I tell her.

"I thought you said I was dangerous."

"That's why it's dangerous to love you."

I'm not explaining myself properly. Probably because I wasn't planning to have this conversation right now.

"You don't value your own life enough," I tell her.

"That's not true."

"It is. You've said it yourself. You don't want to risk my life for yours. Your worse fear is that the people you love will get hurt rescuing you."

"Me loving you," he continues, "is almost as dangerous as you are. I couldn't think straight. We found you by f*cking chance. Not because I did my job well. I couldn't think. I couldn't process anything. I was a panicky mess because I love you."

"But what does any of this have to do with us getting married?"

"I have two choices."

"Huh?"

"I either marry you or I leave you," I tell her sincerely.

"That's illogical."
