Feeling satisfied that he could be with Eli for just a little while longer, Alex relaxed a bit. He could be satisfied with their agreement, he'd have to be. "I will never marry,' he thought, 'because it will never be you.' He stayed with Eli until the dark sky outside began to lighten, threatening the first rays of dawn. He knew he had to leave. Not only for fear of discovery, but so Eli could sleep. He spent a few minutes more with Eli, slowly coaxing himself out of bed.
It nearly broke his heart been he had to say goodbye, but he promised Eli that he would see him again soon. "Sleep well my love. I'll see you later." They shared one final kiss before Eli put on his clothes, and hopped out the window. He had to leave or they would both be in so much trouble.
It wasn't until he left the palace grounds, nearing his family's house that he felt the tears he'd been holding back finally start to fall. He had by his own hand, taken his heart and shattered it.
