"You gave me the biggest gifts of my life," Santiago said, holding her hands. "You taught me how to live. How to love. How to care. How to think about the future. You give me my family back. My sister. My brother. My nephew. You created a home for both of us." He paused for a moment and then added," And you give me the biggest blessing of my life. You gave me an angel I could never wish for. Our Eleanora. Most of all, you gave me you."
Persephone was crying at this moment because she had never seen Santiago using words before. He wouldn't usually talk more than needed but today he said all the things. She was so happy!
"I won't say much but I just want to let you know that I love you, Persephone Vitello," Santiago whispered as he stared at her face as if making a vow. Yeah, it was his vow. Vow of loving her until his last breath. He added with a helpless look, " I love you more than anyone else. I can't express in words what I exactly feel for you."
