Dominic

Since childhood, he had been troubled by women's tears and what caused them. His mother's tears were particularly deeply imprinted on his heart. When he saw a grown, stately woman cry, his insides twisted.

After the storm of emotions, guilt enveloped his entire body, because at that moment he was just a child. From then on, he couldn't bear to see a single tear fall on a woman's cheek.

Now she stood before him. Proud, loving, and... Upset. In her eyes, he saw the whole world, which had now turned to glass.

She looked at him, emotionless, for he was not to blame for what had happened. But a storm raged within him. His hands trembled slightly as he stepped toward her. A warm, transparent tear rolled down her cheek.

She didn't look away. She simply looked at the love of her life. Even in this state, she was ready to love him until her last breath.

Barely touching her cheek, he wiped away a tear with the pad of his finger and looked into her eyes. So sincerely. Almost swearing:

"Please, don't." His voice dropped to a whisper. "I can't bear your tears."

He looked at every feature of her beautiful face, forever imprinting it in his memory, even with tears.

— Do you hear me? No matter what happens in this damn world, I swear, I swear to you that I will never make you cry. I will do everything to ensure that you have only happiness in your life.
