Aylin swallowed thickly; he didn’t know what he was talking about, how difficult this fight would be. Her family had always been overprotective, trying to make decisions for her, and she’d fought them every step of the way. Instead of following in her mother’s footsteps, as they so clearly wanted, she went to college. She got a degree. She moved across the country to live in a city where no one - including Kiran - knew who she was before.
But more importantly, she heard the begging in his statement. That if she denied this, she denied him. And she didn’t want to do that. “You’re right,” she promised, her voice stronger than she could reasonably ask for, her palm cupping his cheek. “You’re worth every fight they throw at me. I know that. I just don’t think you know what you’re up against, if we go have you meet them. My family aren’t good people. Are you sure you’re ready to get into that?”
