" Abe held my gaze a bit longer and then broke into an easy smile. ∫Of course, of course. This is a family gathering. A celebration. And look: here πs our newest member. ∫ Dimitri had joined us and wore black and white like my mother and me. He stood beside me, conspicuously not touching. ∫Mr. Mazur, ∫ he said formally, nodding a greeting to both of them. ∫Guardian Hathaway. ∫ Dimitri was seven years older than me, but right then, facing my parents, he looked like he was sixteen and about to pick me up for a date. ∫Ah, Belikov, ∫ said Abe, shaking Dimitri πs hand. ∫I πd been hoping we πd run into each other. I πd really like to get to know you better. Maybe we can set aside some time to talk, learn more about life, love, et cetera. Do you like to hunt? You seem like a hunting man. That πs what we should do sometime. I know a great spot in the woods. Far, far away. We could make a day of it. I πve certainly got a lot of questions I πd like to ask you. A lot of things I πd like to tell you too. ∫ I shot a panicked look at my mother, silently begging her to stop this. Abe had spent a good deal of time talking to Adrian when we dated, explaining in vivid and gruesome detail exactly how Abe expected his daughter to be treated. I did not want Abe taking Dimitri off alone into the wilderness, especially if firearms were involved. ∫Actually, ∫ said my mom casually. ∫I πd like to come along. I also have a number of questions‚Äîespecially about when you two were back at St. Vladimir πs. ∫ ∫Don πt you guys have somewhere to be? ∫ I asked hastily. ∫We πre about to start. ∫ That, at least, was true. Nearly everyone was in formation, and the crowd was quieting. ∫Of course, ∫ said Abe. To my astonishment, he brushed a kiss over my forehead before stepping away. ∫I πm glad you πre back. ∫ Then, with a wink, he said to Dimitri: ∫Looking forward to our chat. ∫ ∫Run, ∫ I said when they were gone. ∫If you slip out now, maybe they won πt notice. Go back to Siberia." notice. Don't worry, Roza. I'm not afraid. I'll take whatever heat they give me over being with you. It's worth it. "

" I should go," I said thickly. "Let me know when you want to start practice again. And thanks for...talking."I started to turn; then I heard him say abruptly, "No."I glanced back. "What?"He held my gaze, and something warm and wonderful and powerful shot between us."No," he repeated. "I told her no.""I..." I shut my mouth before my jaw hit the floor. "But...why? That was a once-in-a-lifetime thing. You could have had a baby. And she...she was, you know, into you..."The ghost of a smile flickered on his face. "Yes, she was. Is. And that's why I had to say no. I couldn't return that...couldn't give her what she wanted. Not when..." He took a few steps toward me. "Not when my heart is somewhere else. "

" Whatever happened to the dragon?"I mustered my primmest tone. "He has a name, you know."Adrian pulled back and gave me a curious look. "I didn't know, actually. What'd you decide on?""Hopper." When Adrian laughed, I added, "Best rabbit ever. He'd be proud to know his name is being passed on.""Yes, I'm sure he would. Did you name the Mustang too?""I think you mean the Ivashkinator."He stared at me in wonder. "I told you I loved you, right?"Yes," I assured him. "Many times. "

" Yet, it had been Dimitri‚Äôs gentleness and thoughtfulness mixed with that deadliness that made him so wonderful. The same hands that wielded stakes with such precision would carefully brush the hair out of my face. The eyes that could astutely spot any danger in the area would regard me wonderingly and worshipfully, like I was the most beautiful and amazing woman in the world. "

" I had never thought I could love another person this much. I also never thought I‚Äôd live in such fear of losing another person. Was this how everyone in love felt? Did they all cling tightly to their beloved and wake up terrified in the middle of the night, afraid of being alone? Was that an inevitable way of life when you loved so deeply? Or was it just those of us who walked on a precipice who lived in such panic? "
