Mikhail had come striding towards us with guardian efficiency, ready to find out what task I had in mind. He came to a screeching halt when he saw Sonya get out of the car. So did she. They both stood frozen, eyes wider that seemed physically possible. I knew then that the rest of us had ceased to exist, as had all our intrigue, missions, and... well, the world. In that moment, only the two of them existed.
Sonya gave a strangled cry and then ran forward. This jolted him awake, in time to wrap her in his arms as she threw herself against him. She started crying, and I could see tears on his face too. He brushed her back and cupped her cheeks, staring down at her and repeating over and over, "It's you... it's you... it's you..."
Sonya tried to wipe her eyes, but it didn't do much good. "Mikhail -I'm sorry-I'm sorry-"
"It doesn't matter." he kissed her and pulled back only enough to look into her eyes. "It doesn't matter. Nothing matters except that we're together again.

Absolutely," said Mikhail. "So it's you and me, Rose?"
"Yup," I said. "The fewer, the better. Just enough to question Sydney and Ian. I guess everyone else waits here."
Sonya kissed his cheek. "I'm not going anywhere."
Adrian has strolled over by now and given Jill a light, brotherly punch in the arm. "An i'm going to stay and hear how on earth you got involved with this, Jailbait.

Who are these people?" my mother asked.
"Guess," replied Abe flatly. "Who would be foolish enough to break into court after escaping it?

I expected Abe to yell for everyone to shut up or something like that. Of course, Nathan had been trying that for a while with no results. So, I was quite shocked-as was everyone else- when Abe put a finger to his lips and let out the most ear-piercing whistle I had ever heard. A whistle like that through a microphone? Yeah. It hurt my ears. It had to be worse for the Moroi, and the screeching feedback in the speakers didn't help.
The room quieted enough for him to be heard. "Now that you have some sense to keep your mouths shut," said Abe,"we have...some things to say.
Ah, Belikov," said Abe, shaking Dimitri's hand. "I'd been hoping we'd run into each other. I'd really like to get to know you better. Maybe we can set aside some time to talk, learn more about life, love, et cetera. Do you like to hunt? You seem like a hunting man. That's what we should do sometime. I know a great spot in the woods. Far, far away. We could make a day of it. I've certainly got a lot of question to ask you. A lot of things I'd like to tell you."
I shot a panicked look at my mother, silently begging her to stop this. Abe had spent a good deal of time talking to Adrian when we dated, explaining in vivid and gruesome detail exactly how Abe expected his daughter to be treated. I did not want Abe taking Dimitri off alone into the wilderness, especially if firearms were involved.
"Actually," said my mum casually."I'd like to come along. I also have a number of questions-especially about when you two were back at St. Vladimir's."
"Don't you guys have somewhere to be?" I asked hastily. "We're about to start."
That, at least, was true. Nearly everyone was in formation, and the crowd was quieting. "of course," said Abe. To my astonishment, he brushed a kiss over my forehead before stepping away. "I'm glad you're back." Then, with a wink, he said to Dimitri:"Looking forward to our chat."
"Run," I said when they were gone. "If you slip out now, maybe they won't notice. Go back to Siberia.

She scanned the room, and her grin broadened when she saw Christian. She then sought me out. Her smile for him had been affectionate; mine was a bit humorous. I smiled back, wondering what she would say to me if she could.
"What's so funny?" asked Dimitri, looking down at me with amusement.
"I'm just thinking about what Lissa would say if we still had the bond."
In a very bad breach of protocol, he caught hold of my hand and pulled me toward him. "And?" he asked, wrapping me in an embrace.
"I think she'd ask,'What have we gotten ourselves into?'"
"What's the answer?" His warmth was all around me, as was his love, and again, I felt completeness. I had that missing piece of my world back. The soul that complemented mine. My match. My equal. Not only that, I had my life back-my own life. I would protect Lissa, I would serve, but I was finally my own person.
"I don't know," I said, leaning against his chest. "But I think it's going to be good.

-Simplemente pensé… no lo se. Pensé que me odiarías.
La diversión desapareció de su rostro. Se acerco a mí y apoyo las manos en mis hombros, sus ojos color verde oscuro estaban serios.
―Rose, nada en este mundo podría hacer que te odiara.
―¿Ni siquiera intentar traer a mi exnovio de vuelta de la muerte?
Adrian me acerco, y incluso en sueños, pude oler su piel y su colonia.
―Si soy honesto. Si Belikov volviera aquí en este momento, ¿vivo como solía estar? Habría algunos problemas. No quiero pensar que pasaría entre nosotros si… bien, no vale la pena perder el tiempo. Él no esta aquí.
―Yo todavía… todavía querría intentarlo - le dije humildemente. ―Todavía lo intentaría, incluso si estuviera de vuelta. Simplemente estoy teniendo un tiempo difícil para dejar ir a alguien que me importa.
―Lo se. Hiciste lo que hiciste por amor. No puedo estar enfadado contigo por esto. Fue una estupidez, pero por amor. ¿Tienes alguna idea de lo que haría por ti? ¿Por mantenerte a salvo?

Oh, yo todavía me siento culpable, créeme. Después de que Robert me cambió... —Había veneno cuando pronunció su nombre—. Bueno, yo no quería salir de mi casa, mi cama. Me odiaba por lo que había hecho. Deseaba estacarme hasta la muerte. Entonces Dimitri me habló... me dijo que la culpa era inevitable. El hecho de que pudiera sentirla demostraba que no era un Strigoi. Pero él me dijo que yo no podía dejar de abrazar la vida nuevamente. Nosotros teníamos una segunda oportunidad, él y yo. No podíamos echarla a perder. También dijo que le llevó un tiempo el descubrirlo y que él no quería que yo cometiera los mismos errores. Me dijo que abrazara la vida y su belleza y la gente que quería antes de que fuera demasiado tarde, incluso, aunque resultara difícil. Sacudir ese pasado Strigoi... es como un peso, siempre presionando sobre mí. Él juró que no iba a dejar que lo controlara más —lo cual créeme, suena noble pero es muy difícil de hacer— y que él no iba a dejar que su vida careciera de sentido. Él había perdido ya algunas cosas para siempre, pero se negaba a dejar de lado el resto.
Richelle MeadWe could, you know, go out for hot dogs. Don’t worry—they’re not actually dogs. It’s just a name. They’re these meat things that you put on buns—that’s a kind of bread—and then you top them with other things and—”
“I know what a hot dog is,” interrupted Mark.
“You do?” I asked, legitimately surprised. “How?”
“We’re not that remote. We have TV and movies. Besides, I’ve left Siberia, you know. I’ve been to the U.S.”
“Really? Did you try a hot dog?”
“No,” he said. “I was offered one … but it didn’t look that appetizing.”
“What!” I exclaimed. “Blasphemy. They’re delicious.”
“Aren’t they compressed animal parts?” he pushed.
“Well, yeah… I think so. But so is sausage.”
Mark shook his head. “I don’t know. Something’s just not right about a hot dog.”
“Not right? I think you mean so right.
