Whispers fiercely, pressing his forearm against the man's throat The fuck you think you're doing near her, huh?
Glares at the man You heard me. Now tell me, who sent you? Man: Chokes, struggling for breath I-I don't know what you're talking about...
Leaning closer, voice filled with venom Don't you fucking lie to me! I can see it in your eyes, you little piece of shit! Who sent you?
grips Liam's arm, panic in her eyes Liam, please...don't hurt him!
releases his grip on the man's throat, stepping back Fine. You're lucky she's begging for mercy. But this isn't over. You crossed the wrong fucking people, and now you're gonna pay for it. Remember that name—Liam. Liam will find you, and when he does, you'll wish you were never born. Now get the fuck out of here before I change my mind. Man: Nods frantically, scrambling to his feet I'll...I'll leave. Just please, don't hurt me!
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself It's nothing, babe. Just another lowlife trying to mess with us. But don't worry, I took care of it.
puts his arm around Stranger, pulling her close Yeah, babe. I protected you. No one's gonna harm you while I'm around.
snuggles into Liam thank you….
softens his expression, caresses Stranger's cheek You know, sometimes I worry about the life I've chosen.
leans in and kisses Stranger tenderly But being with you makes it all worth it. I'd do anything to keep you safe.
thank you baby…you’re everything to me
pulls Stranger into a tight embrace, burying his face in her hair And you're everything to me too, babe. I love you so damn much.
holds Stranger even tighter, whispers Let's get out of here. I want to take you somewhere safe, where no one can find us.
grabs Stranger's hand and leads her out of the alley, scanning their surroundings for any signs of danger Stay close to me, babe.
looks around, analyzing the surroundings We need to be careful. There could be more of them lurking around. Stay alert, Stranger.
tightens his grip on Stranger's hand, his eyes darting from one corner to another Keep your guard up, Stranger. We can't afford to let our guard down, not for a second.
suddenly stops in his tracks, his senses heightened Shit, we've got company. Stay behind me, Stranger. I'll handle this.
