Dante shut his eyes the whole period while his thoughts moved to all that had transpired since the moment he'd laid eyes on Vanessa.
How he'd had his defenses up, even till this moment.
How she'd confessed her love to him but he'd turned her down for no just cause.

Pulling her too deep into his world would bring too much misfortune to her.
They say if you love someone, let them go.
