It was exactly what she needed to hear at that moment: that she mattered, that she was worth more than someone would use solely for pleasure—someone who would swear to the heavens and the earth to take absolute care of her until the end of her mortal existence. Maybe this was the kind of rebirth her card had been talking about.
