Before 1 am, I stepped out of the apartment, a reluctant Valera giving me a loving kiss and reminding me to take care of her mother and even cuddle her.
My little Nymph lived in her own fantasy world and it was quite adorable.
When I got back to my apartment, I hit the shower and coming out slipped under the covers, pulling Martha to me.
Resting Martha's head on my chest and seeing the peaceful look on her face, my heart couldn't help but twist as I thought about Valera's words.
The girl was right when she concluded her mother was on the run and could be a positive convict and looking at Martha's face I imagined what she had been through.
"I won't let anyone harm you or Valera."
I couldn't be sure why I said these words but at the moment, I just wished the woman could remain like this when she woke up, that she could freely maintain this level of vulnerability with me.
