see the guilt in her gaze, and I shake my head once. “Don’t do fucking that. Don’t think you’ve done something wrong. I don’t like it.” “But you shouldn’t have to go through all of this for me, Hell,” she murmurs, tears falling. I lift my head, taking in her facial features, “Don’t ever feel guilt, because I’d let this entire place burn to the fucking ground just to cover you from the flames. You, my pretty girl, are worth every damn burn I would suffer. With me as your shield, you’re untouchable.”
