“Alexei, stop!” she cried, grabbing my wrists.
“I couldn't protect you…”
“If you don't stop, I will never forgive you!” she shouted, her tears matching mine.
“You protected me, Alexei. You did. Even if you knew this would happen, you couldn’t have stopped fate. This was already written. So please… stop.”
