He knew it would take time for her to fully trust him, but he was determined to prove to her that he would never hurt her. He held her close, his arms wrapped tightly around her waist.
"Addie, listen to me. There is no one else in this world for me except you. I love you, and I always will. Nothing and no one can ever change that," Lennox said, his voice soft and gentle.
Adrienne looked up at him, her eyes searching his face. She could see his gaze's sincerity, which made her heart swell with love and affection. She leaned in and kissed him deeply, pouring all her love and trust into the kiss.
Lennox deepened the kiss, his hands roaming over her body and pulling her closer to him. They broke apart, gasping for breath, their foreheads resting against each other.
"I love you, Addie," Lennox whispered, his voice filled with emotion. "I will always love you."
