Roman's POV
"I promised that these will be your pets, and see, they are yours," I continued, my voice soft and full of assurance. "And now it's time to fulfill another promise."
Convincing her to do what we wanted wasn't the only goal I had.
By doing this, I wanted to assure her that I would always fulfill her wishes and keep my word. I wanted to teach her to trust, which she had lost long ago.
I wanted to tell her that the entire world might break her trust, her heart, but I wouldn't. I wanted her to trust me, my words. I wanted her to trust in us.
"Want to come with me?" I asked, to break her out of her shock.
She nodded lightly, still unable to accept it entirely.
She was like a child who needed to learn emotions from the start, and I was ready to teach her.
