"And I think it means something more. I respect the vows. I haven't made it through them because neither Piotr nor Quill were the right person. I don't trust either one of them to keep any promises." She bites on her lower lip. "I realised the main reason I kept going back to Piotr was because I thought I could save him from himself and his dangerous tendencies. But my self-preservation won out, with some prompting from Yana. I don't want to marry you because I want to fix you or hold you in check. I want to marry you because you make my life better and we can have a future together where we have a life that is ours. You can give me everything I've ever wanted and that used to scare me. It doesn't anymore. I respect it. I value it. I'm not going to toss anything into a bin."
