took his hand in mine, feeling a sense of comfort in his touch. "Leo, I don't want you to be scared. I don't want you to think that you'll lose me. But…but I need time. Time to think, time to sort out my own feelings."
Leo nodded, looking relieved. "I understand, Aphrodite. I'll give you all the time you need. Just…just promise me that you'll let me be there for you."
I smiled at him, feeling my heart race in my chest. "Of course, Leo. Of course I'll let you be there for me."
And with that, we settled into a comfortable silence. I wasn't sure what the future held for us, but I knew that we would figure it out together.
