Liz smiled brightly at her husband nodding her head in agreement.  "Yes, it appears that they seem to like one another.  That is a very good sign."  And if the flush across the pretty blond's face was any indication, they were off to a<em>very</em>good start.  Liz felt her heart lighten just a little bit, feeling for the first time in a very long time that perhaps things might work out.  It seemed to her that someone was always plotting against them, trying to find one loophole or another to take down the family.  But if this marriage worked out like it was supposed to, soon there would be a Romanov heir and that would give them a much stronger foothold.<br/><br/>It still saddened her that she would never be able to give Pavel an heir of his own, but she had no doubts that any child to come from this new union would be loved and cherished by them both as if it were their own.<br/><br/>Her eyes glanced up at her husband as she looped her arm with his, leaning her head on his shoulder while she watched the young couple together.
