Amari quickly shook his head, his chest tightening as he looked at the older man in front of him.
"Dad, don't say that. You had nothing to do with what happened. Maybe… maybe I was never really destined to be with him."
Hulio's gaze softened, but his voice carried a weight that made Amari freeze.
"Amari, your destiny with him was already written long before you realized it."
Amari blinked, startled. Was Hulio really here to convince her… to reconcile with Sebastian? Her heart felt like it stopped for a second, as if the idea itself was too cruel.
"But…"
Only one word slipped from her llips, and suddenly, she didn't know what else to say. The pain inside her was too tangled, too raw, to form into sentences.
Hulio sighed heavily, a father's sigh that carried both weariness and certainty.
"Amari, a father knows his own son. Deep down… you're still in Sebastian's heart."
