He had come down here to...he wasn't even sure why he had come down here anymore. "Thank you Colette for being the first person I could love since my mother's death." He caressed the side of her cheek. He wished for the bars between them to disappear. He wished for all the world but the pair of them to disappear.<br/><br/>"I wish I could save you. I wish I could spirit you away from this place, make the whole world forget you ever existed. I cannot. My father's word is law, it is final. I can do nothing." His own eyes welled with tears for the first time since his mother's death. He felt so useless. He felt like nothing more than a speck of dust.
