Capítulo 91: Awoken From Lies

Lyra's heart swelled with emotion as she looked into Emir's eyes.

"I understand... And you know that I'd do it all over again..."

"I'll always be here for you."

They simply went quiet after that, as they remained in each other's embrace.

Tears continued to flow freely down her cheeks, but Lyra didn't care.

For once, she allowed herself to be vulnerable in front of someone else.

Emir held her tightly, feeling her body tremble with sobs.

He didn't say anything, but his embrace spoke volumes.

He now understood how much she cared for him, and though he couldn't reciprocate those feelings, he still wanted to be there for her, after all...

She was the one who saved him.

After a few more moments, she pulled away from him and wiped her tears.

"Thank you," she whispered.

Emir gave her a small smile and replied softly: 

"Anytime."
