Alexei had never thought about it before, but at the moment he really did believe love could excuse anything, without consequence. Though, the little part of his conscience still trying to make itself heard was fighting a losing battle, and was unable to get the point across that what he did to Tacey was cruel at best.
"My... friends?" He looked a little startled, before following Audrey's gaze around the room. His eyes glinted over Luca, then James, then back to Audrey. "No. Not really." The fact was, he hadn't been thinking of anyone but her lately, so he had no time to miss them even if he wanted to.
