“I’m choosing you. I’m choosing us.”

Layla chose who she wanted to be. Not what her bloodline dictated. It feels like finally breathing after holding it in for years.

“I love you. I loved you yesterday. I love you today.”

Roth stayed steady even when things got messy. He waited for her to see herself clearly. That kind of patience is rare.

“He was my best friend. He was my first love.”

Zayne represents the safety of the past. But safety isn't always where the growth happens. Leaving him behind felt like growing up.

“Heavy is the head that wears the crown.”

The crown felt heavy for a reason. Real power usually comes with a massive cost to the heart. Roth knew that better than anyone.
