I sat there on the bed looking at her. She still hasn't spoken since I revealed my secret
"Ly?"
"Repeat that"
"I'm the leader of Roulette Snipers. And I get that you now know how unsafe it is for you to be with me. Have Savannah around me." I sigh
"I'll always be here to protect you and your daughter"
I got up and walked to the door
"Wait!" She calls out
I stop but don't turn around
"Does anyone know?" She asks
"About me and you?"
"Yes"
"No but if you stay with me they will. Then you and Savannah will be in danger"
"We're in danger on own our Justin" She whispers
Now I turn to look at her
"Meaning?"
"People are going to know that I'm back around my father and they're going to wonder who Savannah is. Her father..." She trailed off
"What?"
"He will probably try to find us and I don't know if I can face him alone"
"You're strong you'll"
"I don't wanna let you go" She cut me off
"Ly"
"I can't. I've never seen Savannah as happy as she is around you. And I don't care about your money or power I just want my daughter happy. If I left you walk out of our lives I might as well go back to living with my parents"
I stare at her in disbelief
"Are you serious?"
"My daughter is in love with you Justin. In such a short time she's taken a liking to you and I fear that if I let you walk away she'll never forgive me"
"And you? How do you feel about me?"
I don't know why I just asked that
"I'm not sure but I know I like having you around. You understand what it's like to have nothing and do everything you can to survive"
"That I do"
She smiled coming over and hugging me. I stood there shocked at first but let my arms wrap around her

"Are you sure you still wanna do this?"
She nodded "If I let my father pay for everything it'll just break the independence I've spent that last three years building"
