Just two people standing under a streetlight, agreeing to take each other seriously.

Rei and Em both stopped when their gaze landed on the red-headed beauty at Cat’s side. “You two know Jasmine?” Dante said. “They do. I’m waiting here,” I prompted.

My breath caught. “Tess,” he said quietly, his voice rough. “This isn’t a proposal. Not yet. But it’s a promise. That I’m not going anywhere. Not again.”

I rubbed my eyes hard, refusing to let my tears fall. I remembered the third year of our relationship, when Jace had excitedly asked me to take him to a labor pain simulator so he could know what childbirth felt like. He had barely made it to level four before breaking out in a cold sweat, and I urged the staff to stop out of concern for him.

And as we embraced each other, we vowed to face whatever new twists and turns lay ahead, united in our unwavering commitment to one another. ****************** As we settled into our newfound resolve, a mysterious package arrived at our doorstep. It was an ornate wooden box, adorned with intricate carvings and a note attached to it. The note simply read, "The final revelation awaits." Curiosity piqued, we opened the box to find a collection of ancient scrolls, each one sealed with an emblem we had never seen before. The scrolls radiated an aura of secrecy and whispered promises of hidden knowledge.

When I was standing right in front of him, I leaned down, bringing my face close to his. “Promised?” I repeated, my voice a low, dangerous whisper. “Let me tell you something about promises.” I straightened up, false promises made by men ringing in my head and my eyes never leaving his. “A promise is a tool. A weapon. Something to give hope to the hopeless and manipulate the desperate. It’s the leash that keeps dogs like you from biting until the master decides it’s time to put you down.”
