Demetri leaned into the touch and reached out to hold Nell's hand. "Thank you Nell. Sometimes I do wonder though. I've done some not very good things, and I fear that my seeing you has only given the man more ammunition and lord knows what he'll to do you, or Harry now because of it too." He sighed and his shoulders dropped. "I tried going away so those I loved wouldn't be harmed, but it didn't work, and I missed home so much too."
He looked over at Nell and shook his head. "I don't mind. I was told it was an 'accident' but I never believed it. It was all too convenient, everything all lined up and perfect. It just never settled right with me, not ever."
