When the window opened Cam didn’t know what to expect. Her initial smile set his heart on fire and he beamed. Maybe all was not lost, he thought to himself. Then the smile turned to a frown as she began to close the window. He jumped forwards to stop her, placing his hands over hers.<br/><br/>“Wait!” whispered as loudly as he thought possible, given that there were guards everywhere. There was something amazing about how she looked, but he was too caught up in the moment to take note right away.<br/><br/>“I know you’re angry but we need to talk. I didn’t give you up! Yes they sent me to, but I didn’t. They sent along a sedative for me to use hidden in a needle inside one of my pens, but I didn’t,” he insisted, looking deeply into her eyes. He wore the most sincere expression as he tried to explain. “The whole time we talked that night in the desert I could have tried to use it, but I didn’t. When we were together in the dungeon I could have – but I didn’t. After we made love and you were trying to kick me out of your life… we still need to talk about that,” he added with a wagging finger, “and still I didn’t. I didn’t use it because…” he sighed. “Because I love you. Alright? It’s true.”<br/><br/>At that point he let go of the window. If she slammed it on him, at least he said his peace.<br/><br/>“You may be too hardcore to feel love, and that’s fine – but I do. I would never send you anywhere against your will. Jesus all I want to be is with you! How the hell can I be with you if you are here? Do you think you mom approves of me?” he laughed darkly. “When the guards told her what I said to you as you collapsed the Queen almost arrested me. I’m banished. If they catch me here… especially right here… I’m dead. But I came back.” He blinked in the night air and looked down briefly at the ground.<br/>“Can I come in now?”<br/><br/>He looked at her for a long time, pleading with his eyes. It was then as he waited for a response that he noticed she was wearing an elegant dress and was made up like a movie princess. He blinked, shocked that he didn’t pay more attention to this before.<br/><br/>“You look… ah… amazing by the way.” His trademark smile returned. “Did I miss the prom?”
