QUOTE : Is this how it’s always going to be? Maybe it isn’t so wise I let your sister come and stay with us.”<br />I gasp, and my eyes fill with tears. No. Before I can even open my mouth, Roman is in front of me, his big hands cupping my face.<br /><br />“I’m sorry. Forgive me. I didn’t mean… Please.” He peppers kisses all over my face. “I’m sorry. Don’t cry.”<br /> <br />I close my eyes, and he kisses my eyelids.<br /> <br />“I was angry.” His voice sounds a little choked. “I don’t like when you say you’re not going to be mine. I didn’t mean it.”<br /> <br />I open my eyes and see remorse all over his face. His eyes look soft and not as dark as normal.<br /><br />“Please don’t cry. Say you forgive me.”<br /> <br />I stand there, shocked by how he’s reacting. He’s upset that I’m upset.<br /> <br />“Your sister can have a whole wing of the castle for all I care.”<br /> <br />“I really don’t take up that much space,” I hear my sister say, and I can’t fight my smile. Worry drains from Roman’s face. He lets go of me reluctantly, and I blush as I realize what everyone has just seen. I glance over at Vlad, and he simply stares at Roman as if in shock.
