That was the bright side to a rocky road.
“I really love you, you know,” she murmured as she reached up and touched the healed, red claw marks on his face that disappeared into his thick beard—her claiming mark that was just as serious as the ring on her finger.
Love wasn’t contracts and blind devotion. It wasn’t putting a Band-Aid on a painful experience for a quick fix. It wasn’t molding a person into something that made more sense.
Love was selfless. It was being someone’s backbone when they couldn’t stand on their own, and being the first one to cheer them on when they finally did.
Ford had given her everything she needed to have a happy life.
He hadn’t swooped in and saved her like she’d once dreamed about. That wasn’t the Dark Lion’s way.
Instead, he’d loved her enough to do something so much more important for her.
He’d taught her how to save herself.
