I shouldn't love this as much as I do

Lucien can't help but smile at Dawn. "You really are a strong woman, physically and mentally. Even affected by all that shit, you are adapting quickly to the situation."

Dawn blushes. "I... I'm really sad, angry, and mostly confused. But yes, I am managing to control my emotions. And that is because of you."

"You showed me the truth and helped me at that moment... Even if only getting me out of there, and... hugging me. I just want to say that I am very grateful for your kindness even though I was your enemy."

Lucien quickly responds. "You were not my enemy. Not personally. Of course, you were leading the army that was the enemy of my family."

"But usually, these conflicts are created by other people. When we realize it, we are already on one side, and we are forced to be the enemy of the other side. There is no right or wrong, but people defending their sides."
