The two stayed still for many minutes, reveling in the taste of each other's lips before Rose decided to pull away.

Rose was first to speak. "When are you going back?"

"Not long after we leave the secret realm. It's been my plan since the beginning." Damien replied.

Rose stayed silent, falling into thought. It was only an entire 5 minutes later that she spoke again. "I'm coming with you."

But Rose didn't allow him to possess too many questions. "That's right. I'm coming with you. I can see that you want to convince me otherwise, but you should know by now that it's impossible."

Damien stared into her eyes for a bit before shaking his head wryly.
