One night, after all particularly long day, Vito found Kleila sitting in their bedroom, starting out the window. He approached her quietly, placing a hand on the shoulder.
" you should get some rest." he said softly.
" I can't" she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. " every time I close my eyes, I see you in danger. I see the kids without you."
Vito knelt beside her, taking her hand in his. "Kleila, look at me." he said. When she met his gaze, he continued " I'm not going anywhere. I'll fight with everything I have to protect this family."
Tears welled in her eyes, but she blinked them away. " I just... I don't want to lose you Vito."
" you won't" he said, his voice steady. " I promise you, Kleila. No matter what happens, I'll always find my way back to you."
