“Relax, baby,” Ethan caressed her face, Moriah held Ethan’s hand that was caressing her face and gave him a wobbly smile.
“You have nothing to fear. Okay? ” He placed his hand at the back of her head, bending forward, he let his forehead rest on hers. “Love, nothing bad will happen to me, so relax and breathe.”
