Disclaimer: V For Vendetta rawks my sawks but it isn't mine to claim. Sadly.

A/N: Second of five drabbles. 100 words, the second day. "Is he thinking of leaving her? … Well, for better or for worse, she's stuck with him."

Grazioso

You asked me last night who I was. I had just saved your life, and like a true maiden of honour, asked the identity of your rescuer.

I wish I had an identity to give you.

You showed such fear then. Yet, at once, such courage. You did not shrink of the hand I offered. You did not run when the fireworks lit up the sky. You marvelled. In fear, yes, but nevertheless…

And now I stand on the brink. I have a choice to make.

I told you I did not believe in coincidence, Evey.

I will protect you.
