Chapter 68 Torn Between Love And Fear: Lorenzo's Proposal

• "You haven't seen me yet when I have a challenge or a desire like this," he said, interrupting me once again. I hate it when he does that. "Dark, I don't know how to act or be less myself when it comes to you. I never learned how to love or be sensitive; my father thought those were women's things and pushed away anything good from me and my brother. The only time I felt my heart so completely devoted to someone was when my daughter was born, and she was a tiny baby. Now, after years and thinking this would never happen, I found you. Slowly, I've handed over this part of myself, and now I'm the one who's attached to you. So I just ask that you let me prove I can love you and our son."
• And once again, he managed to break me down. How could an idiot like him make me so vulnerable like this?
• The worst part was that after what he said, I really wanted to give him this chance, thinking maybe it could work out. But there still remained that fraction of fear reminding me of a year ago and the pain I felt when I walked away.
