ALORA'S POV:-

It is already afternoon. The sun is about to set. Creating a orange and red hue in the sky. The sun slightly peaking out from the sea. The view from the balcony looks majestic. I smiled looking at the view

"You like it here?" Enzo whispered. He hugged me from behind, resting his chin on my shoulder as he breathed in my scent

"Yes. It's beautiful"

"Shall we move here?"

" What no" I replied giving him an 'astonished look'

"Why? You said you like it here" he said pouting. I giggled seeing him. He looked cute doing that.

"Yes but not to the point of moving in here. I want to but if you see something all time,everyday, the beauty doesn't feel the same. Eventually you get bored with it. Seeing the same thing again and again "

"But I won't ever get bored with Alora" he wishpered as he snuggled closer. Embracing me more tightly

"Everyday feels like a bliss with you. It feels so good to be with you" he whispered

I don't know what to say so I remained quiet. I placed my hand on his and tilted my head to the side to look at him

"Is there anything bothering you?" I asked concerned, frowning

He stared at the softness in my eyes. His eyes reflected concern

"I...I am scared that the moment we return to Italy, surrounded by other people, I will become the same old Enzo I was" he said, his eyes closed as he sighed

"My past still haunts me. I-I can hear their voices. The same voices screaming how much of a failure I am. How no one can love
me" he whispered as he dipped his head on my neck, breathing in my scent

I placed a hand on his arm and slowly broke the hug. I turned towards him fully. His eyes glistened with unshed tears. I cupped his one cheek and stroke my thumb. He leaned in on my touch. Closing his eye

"When you said sorry to me and asked for a chance, I was still reluctant to do so." I said honestly, "I didn't know if I could trust you. I didn't know if I could trust in the promise you made, about you changing for me. " I said. " But in the past few days you proved me wrong. I know these are small changes but I am glad you are true to your promise and it means a lot to me. I am sure nothing will happen after we go back. I will always be with you" I said smiling

He soon smiled as well. I can see my words gave him confidence and I am glad it did. He slowly nodded his head smiling

"And if you ever feel like sharing your past I am always here to hear it from you. I am your wife and I have all rights to know about you as much as you do about me" I said

He felt reluctant to answer. His face slightly paled. He looked down at his hand
"I....I don't know if I can. It's- it's too tragic-"

"It's fine. You can tell me when you are ready. But if you want me to understand you then you have to tell me everything about yourself." I said looking up at him. He looked at me and gave a close lip smile, nodding. I smiled at him

I hope this understanding between us always remains. So that we never have to repeat the same past mistakes and I hope he always remains this gentle. I know he won't hurt me but his possessiveness runs so deep it sometimes scare me

He stared at the setting sky
"It's time" he whispered

I frowned looking at the direction of his sight "what's time-" my words got replaced with a small gasp
