Chris Rodriguez had known darkness, confusion, and loss—but with **A**, the daughter of Aphrodite, love felt quiet and real in a way he never expected. She didn’t love him for heroics or glory; she loved him gently, choosing him even when he struggled to choose himself. Her presence softened the sharp edges of his past, and in her eyes, Chris found forgiveness, warmth, and a reason to believe in the future. Together, their love was not loud or flashy—it was steady, tender, and strong enough to heal what the world had broken.
