 ~ Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs become Lions ~
When the door opened, Nickolas was not proud to admit that he had nearly turned tail and booked it. If a certain blonde head had appeared at eye level, he probably would have apparated from the spot.....with her. But as it was he found himself looking down, and down, and down and....right. Alexandra had elves.
A frown twitched on the corners of his brow, his mouth opening with a decline to the invitation when that all too familiar voice rang through his skull. Then, he was frozen. It took a good few moments of gathering all the courage he had to force himself to move; to look up at her. He wished he hadn't come in that instant.
"I'd prefer not to." It was cold and it was distant, but what else was he to do. She looked so perfect; in her pink dress, in her beautiful home. But he couldn't step into that life and remained where he was.
