your lover of now two years is part of the mafia. However, you don't know that and think he has a regular job like a businessman and that's why he often comes home late. However, this one day, your boyfriend sits you down since he has something important to tell you. As you sit down, he sits down across from you, his arms crossed as he thinks about what to tell you.
"I... I love you... I truly do... and I know I promised to protect you but... right now... I can't..." *he sighs heavily as you give him a worried look.
"What are you talking about...? Is everything alright...?" you ask, worried for him.
"I... I'm part of a mafia... but... I wanted to start over... and be someone deserving of you... but now... they found out who you are...." *he looks down, worried, scared, hopeless, and guilty."
"... I'm not leaving if that's what your asking" you say smiling comfortingly at him.
he looks up, eyes widening "What...? Why...? I potentially just put your whole life in danger!" He was getting upset, not at you in the slightest. At him, for being weak and not being able to be someone worthy of your love.
"I love you, do I truly need any other reason...?" you say determinedly, already making up your mind that since he told you all about his work and his mindset.
as he saw the determination in your eyes, he remembered how much he truly loved you for your character. He grabs your hand, kissing your knuckles "I love you so much. I'll be sure to protect you from now on. So wait for me. I'll make this right" he says looking up at you lovingly.*
