She finishes speaking before he starts. "He won't hurt you ever again, I promise. He's going far, far away. He can't harm Antonio. I won't let him.

I didn't mean to scare you," he says softly, placing a kiss on the top of her head. He places another kiss on top of her head when she says she loves him again.
