“What is it?” she whispers self-consciously.

“I almost lost you,” I whisper as my eyes devour the healthy glow that has finally returned to her cheeks. The image of her white and lifeless on the ground haunts my dreams.

I don’t wait a second more before I pull her into my chest. Everything feels right again when she holds me back. Her cheek rests against my shoulder as I whisper to her, “I’ve made so many mistakes, but pushing you away is my greatest sin.” I kiss her hair, her forehead, every inch of her that I can without letting her go.

“I love you, Adeline. I think I have since the moment I saw you. And I’ll tell you every day.” I run my hand over the back of my neck and throw my head back to mutter, “Twenty fucking times a day,” before looking back into her beautiful blue eyes. “Whatever it takes for you to believe it.”

She stares back at me without saying a word, just watching me spill every bit of truth to her that I have. I whisper my greatest insecurity, “I can’t lose you. I won’t survive it.”

Adeline’s hesitation kills me, every second making me exceedingly more nervous that this is the end. “I don’t think I’m cut out for this world,” she tells me. “Angels and demons. They were myths. Mythical creatures that I read about in books. And now you’re trying to tell me that they’re real. And that I’m one of them.”

“I wish I could take this from you,” I tell her, thinking of the secrets that I’m still keeping from her.

“If angels and demons are real, which one are you?” she whispers to me, and I want to tell her the truth just then. But angels don’t belong in hell, and I’ve been living there since I was born. I’ll lose her when she knows, and I don’t want to have to live without feeling her love for at least one night.

I kiss her instead of answering, and when I pull back, I can see the hope in her eyes that this time I won’t run from her. That this time it will be real.

Little does she know that she’s the realest thing I’ve ever had in my life.

“You really love me?” Adi asks me, and I hate that she questions it. “Of course I do. I mean it when I say I always have,” I tell her, pushing the hair from her face. “I love you, Adeline. I’ll spend every day proving it to you if I have to.”

I just hope that I’ll get the chance.

The tips of her fingers glide down my forearm as she looks me in the eyes and says, “I love you, too.”

I already knew she did. What I don’t know though, is if it’s enough. If I’m enough as I am to keep her.

“I just want you.” Her words come out raw and full of nothing but the truth.

“Don’t leave me,” I beg her, even though she won’t understand what I’m asking of her.
