When Irene discovered how much Henry wanted to be around her, she felt she was allowed to be herself and love him the way she wanted to. How much trust she could put into one person regarding her heart scared her.
Yet when she looked at their past together, it was no wonder she had fallen for him so hard.

To think that she might be lucky enough to never experience heartbreak because her heart chose well the first time sounded like a dream come true.
