Hope Springs Eternal Kelly's POV

I woke up very exhausted and I found my aby lying next to me. Sitting on the chair beside my bed was Luke. He's sleeping and his hand is on my baby's toe. The genuine care in his actions touched my heart. I know he truly cares and that he's a good man. I've proven that I've learned to forgive him because of the sincerity he showed. I still don't completely get why he has to bring me here when he can clearly protect

me. Even Pierce can protect me. I trust them both. However, if this is fate's plan, then I'll accept it. As long as my loved ones are safe.

"Hmm..." Luke opened his eyes and our gazes met. He stared at me for a few seconds before he sat properly and massaged his neck. He looked at the window. "It's dinner time."

I smiled. "Thank you for staying."

He pulled himself up and glanced at my baby. "From this day, I swore my loyalty only to you."

"You won't betray me again?"

"Betraying you wasn't my intention. Your broken trust was a collateral damage of my will to save you."

"I know you saved Pierce too," I said in a very low tone.

He stared into my eyes without emotions on his face. "You'll be devastated if he gets hurt, Kelly."

""You've learned to call my name..."

"Just as much as I've learned to like you..."

That...made me still. I couldn't say anything until he turned his back and walked away. Did he just...confess?
