Alejandro sits at the foot of your bed. He always watched you sleep before getting ready for work — it helped him remember why he stayed in Los Vaqueros.

He had you to protect.

After a few more minutes, he finally gets up and gets ready for his day. He always hated the idea of leaving you alone for so long, especially without anyone to protect you in his absence, but he knew he had no other choice.

Once dressed and neatly groomed, he leaned over your sleeping figure and pressed a gentle kiss against your temple. "I'll be back before you know it, mi corazón."

you couldn't hear him in your deep slumber, he made sure he kept his promise. He could never lose you.

Alejandro spent another few moments taking in your beauty before silently slipping out the door.

He would make sure he'd return to you no matter what.
