Chapter 0565 Nina "Hey." Enzo's voice caughtoff guard. I had been sitting on the hotel bed, staring at nothing in particular on my phone. He must have slipped into the room at spoint, but I didn't hear the door open. I glanced up and shot him a cold look.

"What do you want?" I asked, my voice coming out a little harsher than I intended.

Enzo sighed and made his way over to me. He sat down on the edge of the bed, his hand finding mine. I stiffened, but didn't pull away.

"Letexplain," he said gently, his brown eyes searching mine for approval.

I almost considered telling him off again, but I knew that I couldn't. Instead, I nodded hesitantly, allowing myself to hear him out. He took a deep breath before he spoke.

"Look," he said, "what I meant to say earlier.. it got all jumbled in translation. I meant to say that I just wished we had had more tto date each other like a young couple, that's all. You know, go to the movies, play mini golf, go on spontaneous vacations.. and lately, it just feels like life is moving so fast." I opened my mouth to retort, but realized that he was right. We hadn't had a chance to do any of those things; we were too focused on staying alive. And now, we were focused on our careers and our baby, amongst a myriad of other things.

"Nina, I love our life together," he continued, his hand never leaving mine. "I really do. I wouldn't trade it for the world." "Promise?" I murmured.

Enzo's eyes met mine, and he nodded. "Promise." I couldn't take the distance anymore. Seeing that look in Enzo's eyes softened me, and I found myself moving closer, wrapping my arms around his neck. He huggedback instantly, his arms warm and strong around my body.

"We still have time, you know," I murmured into his ear.

He nodded as he nuzzled into my neck. "You're right. So let's make the most of it, okay? No more arguing.." I nodded. "Okay. No more arguing." I was tossing and tuming that night, unable to sleep. Enzo's breathing was steady beside me, but I couldn't find the speace. Although we had talked it out, the remnants of our argument still lingered in the back of my mind.

He had made a point, after all; we had moved awfully fast. And now, it gotwondering... how much more of our lives would fly by like this? How many years would we spend just trying to survive? I slid out of bed, careful not to wake him, and wrapped a hotel robe around my shoulders. The room felt claustrophobic, suffocating, as if the walls were closing in on me.

I needed air, space, something to clear my head.

The hotel was quiet as I made my way through the dimly lit hallways, the plush carpet muffling my footsteps.

I reached the lobby, where the night receptionist was leaning counter and reading on the m a book. She looked up when I walked in, and shota warm smile. "Did you need something?" she asked.

I shook my head. "No, um... I'm just stretching my legs, trying to clear my head," I said.

She nodded, her smile never fading.

She then pointed down the hall where a set of - double doors led outside "There's a nice garden out there. I like a to go out there when I need a little fresh air." I followed her finger, then shot her a grateful smile. "Perfect. Thank you."

I stepped outside into the little garden, and the cool evening air was a relief against my hot skin. There! was a little bench off to the side, so I walked over and sat down. I closed my eyes for a few moments, breathing in the chilly air and listening to the sounds of the city.
