Marissa was still hiccupping in her sleep, and he couldn't understand, why she was still scared of Valerie and his mom.
Or was it about that nightmare?
He needed to tell her that dreams meant nothing. We only dream what we have in our subconscious. It didn't have to do anything with the reality.
He looked down when she shuddered in his arms. Tightening them around her, he lowered his face to her ear, "Nothing would happen, Marissa. You need to trust me this time. No one will hurt you ever."
He didn't want to cry but wasn't aware of how many wars he needed to fight to make her believe that the kids weren't the only reason he was here.
He could fight the world and didn't give a damn about Valerie. Even his business community could go against him, but he could fight them all. But for all those challenges she needed to be with him.
