Chapter 27 - Damian Asked Her One Question
Damian found Sofia in the garden later that night.
She was staring at the ring.
He smiled.
“She gave it to you.”
Sofia nodded.
“I don't know what to say.”
“Say yes.”
She laughed.
“Yes to what?”
Damian reached into his pocket.
Sofia's laughter stopped.
He wasn't holding a ring.
He was holding a small folded piece of paper.
She opened it.
It was a handwritten list.
At the top was one question.
What kind of future do you want?
Below it were blank lines.
Sofia looked at him.
“What is this?”
“Not a proposal.”
She smiled.
“I know.”
“I want us to decide what comes next before the family decides for us.”
She looked at the paper.
“I want a family.”
“Me too.”
“I want Leo healthy.”
“Me too.”
“I want Elena to stop worrying.”
He laughed.
“That may be impossible.”
Sofia smiled.
“And I want the Volkov name to mean something good.”
Damian nodded.
“Then that's what we'll build.”
She folded the paper.
“Together?”
“Together.”
This time, Sofia didn't feel like she was being protected.
