Nella's point of view
My heart pounds rapidly in Reylin's arms. Nerves and anxiety fill my body. I nearly killed my foster father. Reylin must think I am some violent, horrible human, that only solves her problems through fighting. Why would he ever want to be with a girl who comes with such a mess?
Stuttering I say "I'm sorry. I understand if you want to leave me. You didn't sign up for this." I feel his arms tighten around my waist.
He sniffs the crook of my neck nuzzling his response into my shoulder. "I'm never going to leave you. Ever. Goddess, you smell good."
I pull his head up so he is looking at me and say "I almost killed a man Reylin."
He smirks a little before saying "Yes you did. And I am so proud of you for it. Asshole deserved everything you gave him and more."
