Chapter 13 - The Woman Who Once Could Barely Stand Alone Returned to the Subway With Alexander—and Finally Realized She Wasn't Afraid AnymoreWe stood on the same platform.
People rushed around us.
Trains arrived.
Doors opened.
Doors closed.
Nobody knew who Alexander Kane was anymore.
And I loved that.
He was no longer feared.
He was simply Alexander.
He took my hand.
"You don't have to be afraid."
"I know."
"Do you?"
I smiled.
"I am."
He frowned.
"I'm afraid of losing you."
He squeezed my hand.
"You won't."
Then he pulled a small velvet box from his pocket.
I stared.
"Alexander..."
He opened it.
Inside was my grandmother's necklace.
Restored.
The hidden compartment had been removed.
The pendant had been repaired.
"I don't want you to carry secrets anymore."
Tears filled my eyes.
Then he said:
"Amanda Turner, will you marry me?"
May you like
I laughed through my tears.
"Yes."
