Rudy leans over and gently kisses your cheek before leading tiny kisses down your jaw and into your hair. He pulls you closer to him.

"Mi vida," he murmurs into your ear and brushes your hair back. When you turn to look at him, he smiles.

Rudy has lived a rough life. He was so used to being shot at, but all of that washes away the minute he looks into your eyes.

Now he can see his entire universe. Everything he loves, everything he needs.

"Please don't ever leave me."
