"You promise?" Leander asked hugging her closer.
She never gave the impression that she liked living. This probably is the first time she is giving something of a reveal of her desire to live. How can he not be happy about it?
This truly is a wonderful day! The best birthday he ever had.
"I'm going to hold you to your promise," he kissed her head. "You cannot take it back…ever…"
Viviana only then realized the weight of the words she spoke.
"You make my foundations shake just with your eyes, Leander," she said. She spoke that words without thinking much and yet those were words that would cause impact.
He chuckled. His voice heard through his chest was more majestic. And knowing that she's the only one who could get this close to him to hear it gave her a mysterious feeling in her heart.
There might have been some before there might be some after… But now, this moment, this birthday, belongs to her. Her alone.
