A week?
It felt as though ice coursed through Alexander's veins; the beedi was such a shock to his system. He knew there had been talks of marriage, but he didn't think it was so soon... A week before this time of theirs would come to an end.
"You should soeak with your parents," he began, "Duty is important, but surely they understand love."
He wondered who it might be that Elliot was speaking of. He took Elliot's hand in his, very gently, massaging soothing circles on it with one of his thumbs. "Tell me, what would you want? What would make you happy?"
He would grant it if he could, no matter the cost.
