Nikola's POV
Three days!
Three days of me jumping through hoops and treading lightly around Lissa as if every step she took turned the surrounding terrain into brittle ice. I had tried every trick in my "how to make Lissa happy" manual and nothing worked. Her favourite meals went uneaten, candlelit bubble baths were disregarded. Sammy had helped me with the food but everything else was up to me. He was sworn under some ridiculous twin code to protect his sister's secrets so he was of no use.
I was pandering and pleading to my own wife. The woman I had sworn to spend my life, who had declared herself mine, refused to even acknowledge that I was alive. I made me want to tear down her walls by force and scream in her face until she looked at me. Even a look of shock would be better than this.
