Alaric
It had all happened so fast. One minute, I was completely alone on the edge of the hill, fishing just to pass my time in quiet solitude.
The next, Nico was right here, crashing back into my world and kissing me. And goodness, despite every single wall I had tried to build up over the last three days... I had really, truly missed this man.
All the days that we had been apart had made me question everything about the connection between us. Unlike Nico, who seemed perfectly capable of turning around and completely denying what was happening to the world, I couldn't hide how I truly felt.
That was the exact reason why I had fled to this cabin in the first place. There was no way in hell I was going to stand in front of a wall of flashing cameras and lie to their faces about what Nico and I were.
It would make absolutely no sense.
And now, he was right here in front of me, kissing me as if he had not spent the entire three days lying to the media that we were nothing.
