"I...i..do.. don't know what...wo..would have happened if you...an..and.Noah brother hadn't come." Streams of tears began to flow from her eyes again which made Alex's cheeks wet.

"No more tears my love." This time he kissed the tears that came from her left eye. Then he gave her a small kiss on her lips and placed her on a nearby bench before approaching the man who had dared to slap her.
