Stretching out his hand, he pulled back the quilt over her head, and Lucas Walker once again held her into his embrace.
"Ivana, do you know? Since I met you, I feel like my life had gained some special meaning. I'm no longer just on my own. That feeling, it's really nice," he said.
Before meeting her, his life was about studying, working, conquest, establishing and defeating enemies...
He never allowed himself to be idle, always keeping himself just a little busier, one step ahead. All because he feared that once he stopped, he would be overwhelmed by the irrepressible sense of loneliness deep within him.
After meeting her, when he wasn't working, he didn't feel so empty anymore.
Because he now had someone to care for. Just knowing in this world, there was someone who belonged to him, was enough to involuntarily bring a smile to his face, as if his whole being was warmed from within.
"Idiot!" Ivana Bennett covered his hand with hers, "That's what they call 'love'!"
