But his throat clogged with emotion. Elizabeth saved Sophia. His Elizabeth sacrificed her own safety for the safety of his little girl. Their little girl.
What she had done…it was something a mother would do…something Alessia should have done.
His heart swelled with pride for his brave woman, before a mixture of guilt and despair overtook him. What was La Torre doing to her? Was he hurting her? Was he finishing what he’d started last
