Then, softly: “Do you

i want to talk about this morning?”

Enzo’s jaw flexed. He stared at the floor, then at her hands smoothing across his back. Finally, he turned, catching her wrists, pulling her into his lap.

His voice came low, stripped raw. “I didn’t like it.”

“I know.”

He searched her eyes. “But I didn’t hate it either. Seeing him touch you, watching you let him….I wanted to tear the world apart. And yet –“He broke off, shaking his head, his hand sliding up to cradle her jaw. I saw how much he loved you in it. How careful he was, even when he was desperate. And I thought… maybe I can live with that. If it means you’re never alone.”

Her throat bobbed, eyes shining-

“And you?” he pressed, softer. “How do you feel about it?”

She hesitated only a breath before answering. “It’s a lot,” she admitted. “I love him. I love you. I don’t know how it’s supposed to work- but I know I can’t lose either of you, I won’t choose one at the expense of the other.”
