Under the protection of my twin brother

Chapter 17

From the moment Sarah confessed her feelings to Todd, everything around her seemed to change. The house in which they lived no longer seemed cold and lifeless — now an atmosphere of warmth and tenderness spread through its walls. Every corner reminded them of that special moment when their destinies intertwined even more closely.

The days passed slowly, like thick honey, and each of them was filled with quiet happiness and timid but sincere expressions of love. Sarah and Tod tried to spend as much time together as possible, enjoying every moment that fate gave them. They walked around the neighborhood, sat by the fireplace in the long evenings, and shared their thoughts and dreams. And in every glance, in every touch, there was that special tenderness that only happens between people who truly love each other.

One morning, as the first rays of the sun shyly peeked into their bedroom, Tod gently woke Sarah with a light kiss. She opened her eyes and saw his face-so familiar and yet somehow illuminated by a new light. Tod smiled, and in his eyes Sarah read the silent promise of being there for her forever.

"Good morning, my love," he whispered, stroking her hand gently.

Sarah smiled back, feeling her heart fill with warmth.

Their morning routines have now changed: instead of rushing and fuss, there are leisurely breakfasts together, long conversations about everything in the world, and looks full of love and understanding. Sarah found herself thinking that she had never felt so happy and free before. Tod, on the other hand, felt his determination to protect Sarah and their love from all adversity grow stronger.

But even in these happy moments, a shadow of unease lurked in their souls. They understood that their feelings are not only a gift, but also a test. Society will not accept their love, and enemies do not slumber. Harvey is still hungry for Sarah, Evelyn is plotting her own devious schemes, and danger may lie in wait for them at every turn.

Nevertheless, the romantic moments that Sarah and Tod shared with each other gave them strength and confidence. They seemed to draw energy from their love, from those quiet evenings by the fire, from walking under the stars, from shy kisses and tight hugs.

One evening, as the sky turned purple with sunset, Tod and Sarah went for a walk to the old pond in the woods. The silence was broken only by the rustle of leaves and the occasional birdsong. Tod took Sarah's hand and they walked slowly along the beach, admiring the reflection of the clouds in the water.

"You know," Tod said, looking out at the sunset, " I've never felt so happy. You are my sun, my moon, and all the stars in the sky.

Sarah leaned into his shoulder, feeling the warmth of his words rise inside her.

"And you are the whole world to me," she said softly. — But I'm afraid our love might be a curse."

Tod turned to look her in the eye.

— We can handle whatever happens. Our love is stronger than any barriers.

The words echoed in Sarah's heart. She knew that Tod was right, but there was still a hint of unease. Nevertheless, she felt more comfortable in his presence, and she felt that she could trust him implicitly.

With each passing day, their feelings grew stronger, and their determination to stand up for their love grew stronger. They knew there were challenges ahead, but now they were ready for them. Their love gave them strength and confidence, and the romantic moments they shared became a mainstay in a world full of dangers and uncertainty.

Sometimes they discussed how they would go about their lives, how they could protect their feelings from the outside world. These conversations gave rise to new ideas, new plans — and each time Tod was convinced that he was ready to do anything for Sarah, and Sarah-for Tod. Their love became not just a feeling, but also a driving force that could overcome any obstacles.

But despite their growing resolve, they knew that the world would not favor their alliance. They would face condemnation, misunderstanding, and perhaps even open hostility. Nevertheless, they were ready to go forward, holding hands, supporting each other, and drawing strength from their love.

Each new day brought them new romantic moments: glances, touches, whispers of endearments. And with each passing moment, their determination grew stronger, their love deeper. They learned to be vulnerable to each other, to trust without looking back, and to appreciate every moment they spent together.

Although the future was still hazy, Sarah and Tod knew one thing: as long as they had each other, they could overcome any challenge. Their love was their fortress, their refuge in a raging world, and they were ready to defend it until their last breath.

So the weeks passed, and with each passing day the twins became more and more convinced of the correctness of their choice. Their feelings grew and grew stronger, and their determination to resist fate became unshakeable. They knew that the path that they would have to go through would not be easy, but they were ready to face any challenges for the sake of their love.
