Rodolphus looked up at her, wondering how she could be so determined when there didn't seem to be any hope at all. He looked into her eyes for a moment, automatically leaning into the touch and closing his eyes. He sighed and turned his head to kiss her palm before he opened his eyes again and looked up at her. "How can you be so sure?" he asked softly. Her determination made him relax a little and he shrugged. "I guess we'll just have to try. I have no idea what I'm going to do. I can't just... ignore him. I am a Death Eater and I have to do what he tells me to do. I can't just..." He trailed off and shook his head, running a hand through his hair. He looked up at her, wondering how they could possibly get out of this seemingly hopeless situation.
Taking a deep breath, he leaned forward and kissed her hard, cupping the back of her neck. He instantly relaxed and suddenly knew that it would all be okay. Somehow... they would get through this. He finally pulled back and rested his forehead against hers, licking his lips. "What am I going to do?" he asked softly, knowing that she didn't have an answer for him. He had to figure it out himself.
