“This wasn't how I saw our grand rescue going," Aden whispered. His voice was rough, almost shaky, "I knew I'd never deserve you, but I'd hoped for more time to try." Him deserve me? I hadn't heard correctly. My head was too light to get a grasp on any of this. "I said I'd never send you where I didn't dare go, yet here we are." A wry chuckle. "I know it makes you uncomfortable, but I can't let you enter that room without telling you how I feel. You've changed me, Laney Garrow. You opened my eyes long before those pirates came. And then they made me a prisoner, and I thought I was alone in the world, but you jumped through that window...well, it made me decide something. If we do survive this, my first act as king will be to rescind my father's Edict. I don't know much about ruling a country, but I do refuse to become a monster. Women like you deserve as much freedom in this world as any man. I won't be the one to take it away.”
