Since then, he had been fleeing from city to city for almost five years.
“If they find me, they’re not just after me,” she whispered. “They’re after anyone who helps me.”
Emiliano took a step towards her.
—Then this is my fight.
—You don’t understand.
—No, Valeria. You don’t understand. I’m not going to let you disappear.
She looked at him in despair.
—Give me one reason to trust that.
—Because for the first time in a long time, I care more about protecting someone than protecting my own comfort.
Valeria swallowed.
“You have 24 hours,” he finally said. “If you don’t find a real way out, I’m leaving.”
