“It was nice to meet you, Mila. Thank you for saving my life.”

“A simple thank you for saving my life would suffice. I don't need for you to carry me off to your bed to show your gratitude.”

“You can have all the time that you need, Mila. I'll wait forever if I have to.”

“It was never an option. Love never fails, Mila. And I'll never fail you again. That's a promise.”

“You don't have to beat around the bush about it, Mila. If you want to be there at sunrise, just pack an overnight bag when you come out.”

“I'm counting on that," Mila murmurs as she steps away. "I just need some time Pax; time for you to show that you are serious about this, about putting the work in. That's all I need.”

“Mila, I've said this before, but you are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. You are beautiful inside and out. I don't deserve to have met you. I don't deserve you in any way. But there's nothing I want more than to be with you. to wake up beside you for the rest of my life. I am so grateful that you stuck by me for as long as you did. And all I want to know now is what I can do to make you stick with me again? You name it and i'll do it. Anything.”
