"I don't want to go anywhere, Daniel. I want to stay right here."

I narrowed my eyes and studied her beautiful face. "Are you sure? You left once because you felt our world was unsafe for our child. After what happened, I will understand if you still feel the same way. But this time I'm coming with you."

She placed her finger in front of my lips. "I made a mistake. I never should have run from you. But now I know Luca and I are safest with you… here, with the rest of your family."

If my heart swelled any further it would fucking explode.

Layla put Luca down, and he ran off to the swing. She placed her palm on my cheek, and my skin erupted with chills from her touch. "I love you, Daniel. You. The real you. And if I had to take you away from here, away from your family, I won't have all of you."

I shook my head. "Layla, you have all of me."

"If you leave your family behind, you will leave behind a part of yourself."
