[ Does he understand what this means? This offer...it's very different from the shelter and stability Lord Hades tempted her with. Hades offered her security in exchange for her life, but what Antonio is proposing is a far cry from that. It's a home. A real one. It's all she's ever wanted, and it's not something she ever thought she'd get.
She hugs even tighter. This time, it's her turn to hide her face, shutting her eyes for a moment.
When she finally pulls away enough to look back up at Antonio, her smile is big and broad and her eyes are a little damp. There aren't words she can give to him, to express how she feels -- how grateful, how loved. Instead, she swallows, her heart so full it's bursting, and she nods. ]
