"Will you be mine, Alessia?" Xavier asked, his voice trembling with uncharacteristic vulnerability. "Not just tonight, but always, until we never can?"
Alessia's eyes watered as she watched his sincere, warm eyes. Her stomach knotted with a whirlpool of emotions. She didn't know him well yet, she didn't know if his heart would fail him on their 100th-day anniversary together, she didn't know why he always seemed wary whenever he held her in his arms, but she didn't want to give logic a chance at that moment. The man in front of her made her want to throw all caution to the wind.
She placed her hands on his shoulders and sighed as she stared deep into his eyes. "Xavier, I'm ready to face anything with you until we can no longer fight, and until our souls resign in defeat. We'll be together." She swore.
