I sighed as s I looked at Emiliano. He was moody. I had wanted to cry along the way while telling my story, but he consoled me by holding me close.
“You have passed through a lot, sweetheart,” he said to me, snuggling me closer to himself. “I won’t let anyone hurt you ever again. I will protect you. I won’t leave you,” he assured. I smiled. He kissed my hair. I slid my arm across his chest. He hugged me while we were still lying. He cuddled me like I was cold and needed an article of warm clothing. “Let it all go, okay?” he said to me. I nodded against his chest. I closed my eyes, allowing myself to be swept off by his sweet scent.
