"Oh dear Livy, I hate seeing you so sad," Demetri said and hugged her. "I would do anything to make you happy." He kissed her forehead. "Normal or not, I love you and that will never change. But you are right. Mother can not know of this part of things. I fear even her love of her children will not allow her to understand."
He drew her in close and they sat there together. "I want you to be safe too Olivia. Safe and happy. Don't you worry, things will be alright."
