Sweet Torture*

Bella wanted Amon to know how important he was in her life, and how deep her feelings were for him. He didn't say a word but the intensity and steadfastness in his gaze, piercing through her eyes, was enough for her to know exactly what he was feeling at that moment. 

She lifted her hand to cup his face with her warm palm. She gently caressed his cheek and smiled as she whispered, "I… I barely kept myself breathing, but seeing your smiling face like that in your portrait gave me just enough strength to continue with my life… Thank you for staying alive and coming back to me, Osman… Amon… No matter what your name is, it doesn't matter to me, because my heart will always recognize you, no matter what. I love you so much."
