"D-Dimitri," the Russian god I'd come too love with every inch of my heart stood in front of me.
"Roza," he breathed…it appeared that this was tearing him apart; his guardian mask had broken, never to be replaced. He stroked my hair and hugged me with all his strength.
"Go, go Roza, be with the living," he ordered, "I'm gone, our love…" I ripped away desperate for him to change his mind.
"Dimitri! No please," I begged. He caressed my face gently before dissolving into thin air. I woke up crying into something warm. The arms encircled me trying to coax me out of depression.
"I don't wanna be here anymore, I don't wanna be amongst the living if I can't be with him," I sobbed. I felt his chest muscles clench under me.
"Rose…where are you?" Christian asked. I knew what he meant; I knew full well what he meant. Still, I asked the stupid question.
"What do you mean?" I asked. He rubbed my back until I could at least breathe.
"You used to be so strong, where is the girl we all love? The one girl who never backed down? Where is the one girl who kept us going even when Mason died?" he asked. I hid in his chest, I was acting a little childish, but I didn't want to face anything yet. He forced me to look at him. I tried to look away, but he wouldn't let me.
"I don't know Christian what do you want me to do? Who do you want me to be? I can't be who I'm not, I can't fake what I'm feeling," I chocked. He hugged me again.
"I know, I don't want anymore than your willing to give Rose," he whispered. I let him embrace me. So many times I heard older women say the touch of a man was all they needed; I always scoffed and called them dependent house wives. Now I understood, as Christian held onto me I felt like everything could be okay. I looked up at Chris, who was staring down at me…If I could just pretend he was Dimitri…if I could just pretend! He kissed my forehead and I realized pretending wasn't getting me anywhere. I kissed his cheek; my tears drenched his face where our faces barely touched.
"It was just a dream," I whispered. He squeezed me then whipped my face for me.
"A long forgotten dream," he added, "C'mon, we got plans, remember?"
