"Stop intruding on my life!"
"You're my sister — "
"I'm your full-grown sister. I can take care of myself!"
He took a step towards her. "Juliet, listen — "
"No!" She ran.
He chased after, but she hid.
A bitter taste lingered in his mouth. You're my sister. I have to protect you.

"Dom, I love you, I really do. But can you please let me see him?"
"I can tell that he doesn't mean you well. He'll break your heart."
"Everyone gets their heart broken a couple of times," Juliet said defiantly. "No one gets it right the first time."
*~{}~*
It was an I-told-you-so moment. Butler knew this, but instead, he sat behind his sister, stroking her long blonde hair.
"It's OK, Juliet."
Silence. "You were right."
Domovoi didn't say anything.
Her heart calmed over, settling down from its crashing waves. The soft lap of the water against the shore, soothing and peaceful.
"Thanks, Dom."
"You're welcome."

"Hey, beautiful."
Juliet frowned at the man that sat beside her, but her ever-faithful brother nodded.
Go on. Be happy.
So Juliet smiled back.
