"Hahahaha!" Damon burst into a hearty laughter. "Oh, Cristian, did you get rusty, or were you always weak? If my Lieutenant can go toe to toe with you, you are in trouble."
"Thank you..." his eyes softened as the side of his lips curled up in relief. Soon, his eyes sparkled in the dark as liquid formed in the corner of his eyes. "... for looking at me the same way. You have no idea how it means to me... as a big brother from his sister."
"You're young, Adeline," Elias softly said, grabbing her hands and lowering her dress. "Your body has time to go back to the way you like and if it doesn't, we'll find a way. You are my wife and I love every little bit of you. Throw me your worst and I'll turn it into my best."
