Chapter 14 - THE VOWS WE KEEP
I got up from my chair and walked around the table to sit on Lorenzo’s lap.
He wrapped his strong arms around my waist, pulling me close against his chest.
I rested my head against his shoulder, listening to the steady, strong rhythm of his heartbeat.
“Do you ever regret taking my hand that night?” he asked quietly into the dusk.
I looked up into his dark, soulful eyes.
“Not for a single second,” I answered honestly.
“You saw me when everyone else looked past me.”
“You gave me a throne when others offered me pity.”
Lorenzo touched his forehead against mine, his breath warm on my skin.
“I will spend the rest of my life protecting your smile, Camila,” he vowed softy.

“No matter who comes against us, no matter what shadows try to touch our lives.”
“I know,” I whispered. “Because you are my protector.”
