Evelin's POV
"Then I'll stop you," I said. Watching Jimmy's head drop, I couldn't resist leaning in to press a soft kiss against his cheek.
His body trembled slightly, shock dancing in his eyes as he lifted his gaze to mine.
I smiled back at him. "You really don't need to stress about that. Even if you show me your darkest parts, I'll still love you, whatever happens."
Jimmy went quiet. He really gets it...
"And there's something else," I said, my tone turning serious as I paused. "No matter what happens, no matter when—promise me you'll never actually break the laws for my sake."
Jimmy's lips pressed into a tight line. "But what if someone tries to hurt you?" His voice dropped low, that protective edge cutting through.
I could see his jaw tighten, and I knew he couldn't tolerate the idea of anyone hurting me. I could tell he would be prepared to eliminate any risk to my safety—even if it meant crossing every boundary and shattering every rule.
