I will never let him down. That voice suddenly echoes louder than all the rest. Louder than my subconscious, louder than the mantras and the brainwashing. It screams with confidence. No matter what happens, I will never, ever let him down. And for now, that’s enough. We can face whatever life brings if I can hold true to that. I want him, and I never want him to be hurt, so nothing else matters.
