Vince looked over at Adira with some concern. What had just happened? "Adira, is everything okay?" He turned to her and laid his hand against her cheek. "Why would I want to be alone?" He took a risk and pulled her into a warm hug. "Adira I...this is something new to me. I've never cared about someone else before, and I've never had someone care for me like you do. I know that this could get us both into trouble, but to hell with it all if I am going to let that scare me away. I want to be with you, and I am willing to deal with the risk of being with you." Vince pulled back enough to look Adira in the eye. "I mean, as long as you feel the same."
