Sabrina looked at him, her eyes filled with a love that mirrored his own. "And you changed mine, Julian. You showed me that the past doesn't have to define us, that we can choose our own destiny."
She reached out and touched his cheek, her fingers tracing the lines of his face. "This isn't goodbye, Julian. It's a promise. A promise that we'll find a way to be together, no matter what it takes."
Julian held her gaze, his heart filled with a fragile hope. "I'll hold you to that promise, Sabrina. I'll come back for you. I always will."
