"Marcel, I am not sure of everything that is happening," Jenna began as her voice was steady yet filled with emotion. "But I have made up my mind to stay by your side, no matter what. I trust you more than Venice, more than anyone."
Marcel’s hard expression softened at her words. He placed his hand over hers, giving it a gentle squeeze. "I am glad to hear that, Jenna. It means more than you know that you are choosing to trust me."
Jenna looked down for a moment, gathering her thoughts. “I know I jumped to conclusions, and I am sorry. I realize now I should have come to you first. You must have your reasons for everything, even if I don’t fully understand.”
Marcel nodded, there was a hint of relief in his eyes. “I do. And when the time is right, I will share it all with you.”
