"How you doin'?" Rodolphus asked in what he hoped was a sexy drawl. He didn't exactly pull it off, though.

Even so, laughter erupted out of Narcissa, so he considered it a win. "Really? That's how you address me after ignoring me for two years?"

Rodolphus shrugged sheepishly. "I thought it might go over better than 'it's been a long time.'"

Narcissa narrowed her eyes. "Whose fault is that? You chose Bella over me."

"My parents and your parents made that match. I didn't get a say in it. And it didn't look like you were too upset with your match. You looked pretty happy to be on Malfoy's arm."

She continued to glare at him. "I didn't have a choice."

"Either did I," Rodolphus argued.

"Maybe if you had said something about wanting to be with me, they would have listened. I didn't have the option since you were already married."

"So you fell in love with a coward. Are you surprised?"

Narcissa sighed. "No. I guess I'm just disappointed. I thought I meant more to you than I actually did."

"Stop," he harshly ordered. "Don't ever say you didn't mean anything to me. I loved you. No, correction, I love you. Always have. Never stopped."

"I still love you as well," Narcissa quietly admitted.

Both of them fell into silence as they wondered if that really changed anything.
