They sat there in silence for a few moments, watching the sun slowly dip below the horizon. Ezra held Scarlett close, letting her take comfort in his embrace.
As they sat there, Scarlet began to feel a sense of calm wash over her. It was as if Ezra's strength and presence had given her the strength she needed to face the difficult days ahead.
"Thank you," she whispered again, her voice barely above a whisper.
He pulled back slightly, looking into her eyes. "You don't have to thank me," he said. "I'll always be here for you, no matter what."
She smiled weakly, grateful for his support. "I know," she said. "It's just...it means a lot."
Ezra nodded, his eyes locked onto hers. "I know it does," he said. "And I want you to know that I care about you. Whatever you need, I'm here for you."
Scarlet felt her heart swell with emotion. It was as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, and she knew that no matter what happened, she wouldn't be facing it alone.
