"Every time I try to believe you..."
"The memories come back."
"The way you looked at me with such coldness..."
"Then turned around and looked at another woman with the warmth I had always longed for." I added.
My voice broke.
"How can I be sure..."
"...that what you're feeling now is really love..."
"...and not guilt..."
"...or something else?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of anymore," he said softly.
"I can't even imagine hurting you ever again."
"I know it won't be easy for you to forget everything that happened."
"But if you can just give me one chance..."
"I'll prove to you what I really feel ".
"We'll create new memories together."
Then he gently took both of my hands in his and looked straight into my eyes.
"I love you, Alicia."
My breath caught.
Just for a moment.
I slowly shook my head.
"Can't you see, Alexander?"
"Sometimes..."
"Love just isn't enough."
"Your world is filled with dangers."
"And who knows what might happen to our daughter next?"
