When they broke the kiss, Bianca couldn't believe this was actually happening. She pinched herself, wincing slightly at the pain. "Ouch," she whispered, her eyes locked on Roman's.
Roman looked at her with concern, "What's wrong, Bibi?"
Bianca nodded, her gaze still fixed on his, and laid her head on Roman's chest, her voice barely audible. "Just checking if this is not a dream."
Roman chuckled, his chest vibrating against her ear. "It's not a dream, Bibi," he assured her, his arms wrapping around her in a gentle embrace. "I'm right here, and I'm not going anywhere."
Bianca's heart skipped a beat at his words. She felt like she was melting into his warmth, her senses overwhelmed by the scent of his cologne and the sound of his heartbeat. She felt like she was home, like she had finally found the place where she belonged.
"I love you, Roman," she whispered, her voice barely audible.
