Lorenso watched her as she pushed back against him, sitting on his bed. He didn't fight her, dropping his gaze he sat beside her. He took her hands again, looking into her eyes, feeling them shake slightly. "I...I apologize...I don't know what came over me"  Lorenso stroked his hand against her cheek, ever so gentle. "You are so beautiful Lenally, to beautiful to be bought and sold for peace the way you are." Lorenso pulled her into his arms, looking deep into her eyes.
