"Thank you Nell. It was a while ago but apparently not long enough, and he still holds it over my head." Demetri reached up and looped a bit of Nell's hair around his finger, smiling a little when Nell kissed his cheek. "You don't have anything to be sorry about. If I said anything in there that hurt you, it's me who is sorry. I panicked, and didn't want to see you end up.... I just wish I'd interrupted sooner." He leaned in closer and kissed Nell on the cheek softly.
