She smiled up at her husband, one hand coming up to caress the side of his face gently while he tied her hair back.  "I love you, husband of mine.  You are my heart and my soul...the very air that I breathe."  Liz confessed softly, wrapping her arms around him and resting the side of her face against his chest.  "We will show them.  They will know that it is not wise to mess with our family by the time we are through."  She gave a definitive nod of her head to punctuate that statement.<br/><br/>Lifting her head she looked up into his sapphire blue eyes and smiled happily. "I will always be by your side my love, and heaven help any who try to take me from it."  A look of raw determination passed over her features, her delicate jaw set firmly into place.  "They won't win...will they?"  For a moment her determination faltered as she tried to imagine her life with out Pavel and her voice caught in her throat.
