I stared at the boots he wore and wondered how to answer the question he was asking. I have never replied to something like that in my entire life. Apart from father, I did not answer anyone.
What Azriel asked of me, should have made me send him to the dungeons but I didn't. Rather, I shyly smiled at the grasses covered in white snow.
"Have you ever wondered why you never felt this way?"
He paused and looked up, a smile touching the corners of his green eyes. I swallowed hard and my throat made noises. I shook my head like a pupil answering her teacher.
"Because there was no one special in your life…" his eyes found mine when I looked up briefly. "You feel something for me, right? Just the way, I feel for you."
"I-I can not say, for now, Lord Azriel" words flew out of my mouth for the first time. Love was not easy to find. Some will claim to love for a few months and years. I didn't want to end up broken.
