I’ll fix it or buy it or destroy it.” “I love you.” Her words, the sincerity behind them, had my stomach throwing itself off a cliff. “Say it again,” I ordered gruffly. Her smile was a sunbeam that warmed the darkest corners of my heart. “I love you, Lucian Freaking Rollins. I always have. I always will.”
