Rose’s POV
“You’re sure about this?”
“Completely.”
Well…mostly.
“Have you done anything like this before?”
I suck in my lower lip as I avoid eye contact, squinting at the steep cliff in front of us instead.
It’s suddenly looking taller, more impossible.
“No, but that doesn't mean that I can’t.”
“I believe in you.”
My eyes flicker to see his intense expression and a comforting warmth floods through me.
I believe in myself too.
Taking a deep breath, I lift my hands and concentrate on the rocky face of the cliff, starting at the bottom, Luca’s presence at my shoulder giving me strength as, after about a thirty-second pause where absolutely nothing happens, small rocks crumble from the bottom of the cliff, leaving a small crevice that creates a rough outline of a step.
