“You are all I’ve ever wanted, Temptress. You’re every dream I’ve had, every damn hope for my future. Even when I thought you were lost to me, I prayed for you. Swore my soul to whoever would take it if you’d just come back home so I could say I was sorry. Tell you what I’d always known was true but was too scared to say when we were kids. I love you, Delilah. I’m so damn gone for you, it’s insane. You will never be an obligation to me. You’re my whole world.”
