“I want to be your first choice. And maybe Iâve never made it clear that I am a choice for you. I like you, and if you let me, I know I could love you. My title might not be as fancy as Kalliasâs, nor my pocketbook quite as deep, nor my estate quite so large.
âBut my heart is bigger, Alessandra. And I would love you completely, wholly, as a woman ought to be loved. I wonât hide behind shadows. I wonât love you from afar. I wonât only take parts of you. I want all of you. Mind, body, soul. I want to be with you. Always.”
