Keira Leaf walked up behind him and gently embraced him, whispering, "You'll protect me, right?"
Joshua Sulliven's expression softened slightly, and after a long while, he spoke softly, "But I'm afraid I might not be able to."
"You've always been able to, you've protected me so well. If it wasn't for you, how could I be this happy?" Keira Leaf leaned on his back and spoke softly.
Joshua Sulliven pursed his lips and remained silent, his downcast eyes slightly moist.
Keira Leaf held him tight: "We must figure out Emma River and Derek Leaf's affair, and we must also bring her to justice, otherwise our lives will never be peaceful."
Joshua Sulliven turned around: "But I can't watch you take risks. Do you know how much... how much I fear losing you?"
"I know, but you won't lose me." Keira Leaf met his gaze and gently placed a kiss on him.
