10On his day off, he came to meet my mom with me.When my mom learned that he was a cop, not a soldier like she had assumed, she pulled me aside softly. "Being a cop is a dangerous job. You shouldn't have to live in fear and worry."I cut her off. "Mom. I appreciate your love and concern for me. But I need you to give him a chance to show you who he really is and why I love him."My mom knew that I always made my own choices since I was little and didn't argue much, but when she talked to Darrian, she often looked sad and worried.Darrian and I left my mom's house after dinner. Instead of driving, he took my hand, and we strolled in the night.I could tell he had picked up on my mom's thoughts and was feeling conflicted.The moon was shining brightly, casting its light over the world.I held Darrian's hand, resting my head on his arm, and said, "Darrian, I'm here for you."He turned his head and looked at me, his eyes filled with warmth.
