" 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 Sib "

" I get in that kind of situation all the time, Comrade. It's not a big deal." Anger replaced my fear. I didn't like being treated like a child. "Stop calling me that. You don't even know what you're talking about." "Sure I do. I had to do a report on the R.S.S.R. last year. "

" Longing surged up within me. I wanted it. Oh God, I wanted it. I didn't want to hear Jerome chastise me for my "all lowlifes, all the time" seduction policy. I wanted to come home and tell someone about my day. I wanted to go out dancing on the weekends. I wanted to take vacations together. I wanted someone to hold me when I was upset, when the ups and downs of the world pushed me too far. I wanted someone to love. "

" What were you thinking?" I demanded once we were moving to the music. I was trying to ignore his hands. "Do you know how much trouble you may have gotten me in?"Adrian grinned. "Nah. They all feel bad for you. You'll achieve martyrdom after dancing with a mean, wicked vampire. Job security with the Alchemists. "

" Sydney, don't leave Adrian because of me.""It's more complicated than that," I said automatically."It's really not," she said. "From everything I've seen and heard, you're just afraid. You've always controlled every detail of your life. When you couldn't-like with the Alchemists-you found a way to seize back that control.""There is nothing wrong with wanting control," I snapped."Except that we can't always have it, and sometimes that is a good thing. A great thing, even," she added. "And that's how it is with Adrian. No matter how hard you try, you aren't going to be able to control your feelings for him. You can't help loving him, and so you're running away. I'm just an excuse. "

" I wished the kiss could have gone on forever. Breaking the embrace, he ran a few fingers through my hair and down my cheek. He stepped back toward the door."I'll see you later, Roza""At our next practice?" I asked. "We are starting those up again, right? I mean, you still have things to teach me.""Yes. Lots of things. "

" Sorry, ∫ she said, her face shining with joy when she saw me. ∫Should have put a sock on the door. Didn πt realize things were getting hot and heavy. ∫ ∫No avoiding it, ∫ I said lightly, clasping Dimitri πs hand. ∫Things are always hot with him around. ∫Dimitri looked scandalized. He πd never held back when we were in bed together, but his private nature wouldn πt let him even hint about such matters to others. It was mean, but I laughed and kissed his cheek. ∫Oh, this is going to be fun, ∫ I said. ∫Now that everything πs out in the open. ∫ ∫Yeah, ∫ he said. ∫I got a pretty ‚Äòfun π look from your father the other day.
