I stood outside his room, hesitating, contemplating, thinking, wondering, and hesitating again.
I had no idea what was on the other side of the door, and I was honestly scared to find out. I wanted him to look at me and smile, but he wasn't my Dimitri, the one that knew me, really knew me, that understood me completely.
Instead, he was the cold Dimitri, the one I'd first met, the one who was closed off to emotion and romance, after he caught his girlfriend fucking his best friend on his bed after celebrating said best friend's promotion.
Adrian said he didn't remember finding Tasha and Ivan, but that he knew now. It had been impossible for Adrian to keep that quiet, he wanted him to know the truth before she came back to fill his head with lies.
I had met him a month after he caught them.
And he dismissed me just like he was doing now.
Like I wasn't important, like a nuisance he was commanded to take care of, but wasn't especial enough to care for.
It killed me on the inside because I loved him with everything that I had.
