Summary
Dante never let anyone in. Not really.
He could flirt. He could charm. He could indulge in every fleeting desire without a second thought. But genuine affection, the soft, persistent kind that found the cracks in his walls, he met the way he met every threat: the gates came down, the locks turned, and every chain drew tight.
And now that he had Vergil and his family back, he definitely didn't want anyone else.He told himself it was mercy. That he was saving her from himself.
He never anticipated the cost. That what he did, what he carelessly allowed to happen, would come back to find him with no excuses left and nowhere to run.
