CANDLES TO THE FLAME
- Victoria thinks they should end their relationship -
"Ivan-" She hates breaking the silence first. He meets her hesitant gaze, his arms still wrapped tightly around her waist, waiting expectantly.
"We can't keep doing this."
The disappointment in his eyes is heart-breaking and she looks away, unable to take the pain. It's hard enough as it is. "What we're doing is dangerous. If anyone ever finds out then we're dead. In fact more than dead. And if MI6 finds out-"
He cuts her off, a finger pressed to her lips. ""Zaychik moy, you worry too much."
She shakes her head. "Ivan-"
"моя любовь, if you want stop seeing me then I will go" he replies, rising from the sofa and heading for the door. She can't take it anymore. In one swift movement, Victoria reaches out and grasps his hand tightly, stopping him from going any further. "No, don't…"
He pulls her towards him, the sadness in his voice evident. "Do you not love me?"
Victoria moves closer to him, listening to the beats of his heart. "More than anything else in the world."
Taking her hand, Ivan gently kisses her palm and carefully places it over her heart. "I always be in here. No matter what happens."
