Chapter 11 - I Asked Raphael Whether He Regretted Choosing Me, and His Answer Made Me Realize I Was No Longer His EmployeeWe were sitting on the balcony.
I asked:
“Do you regret protecting me?”
“No.”
“Even after everything?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because you're the only person who ever walked into my life without wanting something.”
I smiled.
“I wanted a paycheck.”
“You wanted independence.”
He looked at me.
“And I love that.”
I took his hand.
“I don't work for you anymore.”
He smiled.
“No.”
“You're not my boss.”
“No.”
“What are you?”
He kissed me.
May you like
“Your family.”
I smiled.
