Luc lifted her chin up and dried her cheeks with his thumb. "Princess, I love you," he said looking straight into her eyes. "Damn, I love you more than you can imagine. I love you more than I love myself. I don't know why or how I reacted that day when Bell and Rowan told me about your family, but, I don't know. Maybe that was a normal reaction. But still, that single reaction doesn't define how I see you or how I feel about you. Damn, you could be the ugliest and most abominable creature in the universe but as long as you are you, my princess, I don't care. I would still love you. So please, don't doubt it," He said in a pleading voice.
