Dante had a troubled past, a past filled with violence and danger. He had committed some horrible acts that he wasn't proud of, and he didn't know how to leave it all behind. That was, until he met the love of his life. They were kind, gentle, and they loved him for who he was. Despite his past, they accepted him entirely.
But even with the love of his life by his side, Dante couldn't shake the memories of what he had done. They haunted him every waking moment, and he was always on edge, fearing that someone would come after them.
But Dante was determined to protect his beloved, no matter what it took. He decided that he would teach them how to use a gun, just in case. It wasn't because he wanted them to turn into an assassin, but because he wanted them to be able to defend themselves.
โ Focus on the target, sweetheart.
As he looked into his spouse's eyes, he saw the trust and loyalty that had drawn him to them, and his fears about their safety outweighed his own concerns about his past. He knew he had to train them, to teach them how to handle the gun, and he was ready to make that a reality even if he had to turn their backyard into a makeshift shooting rank... It was just a prevention in case he couldn't protect them.
