"I will also protect you with my body." Nick approached her. His hand grabbed Rissa's face, then pulled her so that Rissa would look into his eyes.
Rissa can feel that Nick is currently hurt and so sad. Rissa wanted to say that she didn't want to hurt him and fight with him over this matter. They should have agreed. Nicholas was her brother, whom she also loved very much.
The thought of Nicholas being in that place, protecting Rissa from bullets with his body, made Rissa shudder. She had struggled to bury the terrible memory, but now, Nicholas made her have to imagine it again.
Rissa pulled Nick's hand away from her face. And then, she took a deep breath.
"That's enough." Rissa shook her head. "I don't want to argue with you anymore."
"I don't want to argue with you either. I really miss you, Rissa. Don't you understand?"
"Don't say that."
"I still love you so much. Even now, I could kidnap you and take you away from here."
