Damien placed a soft kiss on Annalise's temple as he spoke in response to her defense. "It's alright. You will eventually learn from these mistakes. Besides, I'm here to take care of you, so no need to worry anymore."
His words turned into immediate comfort and surrounded both Annalise's body and her heart as she snuggled closer into his arms, realizing at the same time that her body was no longer hurting like before whenever she moved.
"Thank you, My Lord... for always being there for me whenever I need you." She whispered sincerely while placing a soft kiss on his jaw before burying her face in the crook of his neck.
Damien tightened his arm around her as he replied, "You are my wife, my soulmate, and one of the most important people in my life, I will always be there for you no matter what."
