I promise to never let her or her mother down, and I promise that nobody will ever hurt either of you even after the breath has left my body.” Why he decided to tell me this now knowing that I was still hormonal was beyond me. I broke down loudly sobbing as he pulled me into his arms. “I love that name.” He kissed my ear. “Don’t ever fucking scare me like that again, Joy.”
