VerA8mthCommentedSo true! 😁 But such is life 🤷.
Maxi narrowed her eyes. "Because… you're rarely the bearer of good news."- VerA8mthCommented
Obsessive compulsion is a must when it comes to the safety of Riftan!
"That's enough. You've already checked that one twice," she said irritably. "It's going to work just fine, so give it a rest." - VerA8mthCommented
He knows Maxi, sometimes actions are better than words! 🥹
Maxi silently stared at his dark hair gleaming blue in the sunlight. Each step he took seemed to puncture her heart. She wiped her wet cheeks on her sleeve, wondering if she had properly conveyed her feelings to him. It suddenly occurred to her that all the sobbing had prevented her from saying the most important thing. - VerA8mthCommented
That last look is always so painful 😭!
Riftan carefully lowered her to the ground and took a measured step back. His eyes were feverish as he gazed down at her. Then, squeezing them shut, he whirled around. - VerA8mthCommented
Stupid War!
His arms wrapped around her, Riftan muttered, "I must go now." - VerA8mthCommented
Finally, but he has to go! 😭😭😭😭 Why can't they have a moment of peace!
Riftan cupped her face with a gloved hand and pushed his tongue into her mouth. Sobs broke out of her between feverish breaths. - VerA9mthReplied to GIUSSE_RISCHMOLLER
Did read his point of view; but he needs to understand that Maxi made a sacrifice that in the long run will benefit him. At this moment he doesn't have the political support or power that the Duke has in order to properly protect her. This relationship is about both of them not just him and his feelings alone.
Whenever they stopped to rest, Maxi would cautiously study Riftan's face. His fury was evident even from a distance. Though this was certainly not the first time she had witnessed his anger, she had never seen him so unstable. - VerA10mthReplied to Aki_rika001
True, but the sacrifice is worth it if you don't have a splitting headache the morning. 🤷
After guzzling goblet after goblet of wine, he returned to his room, collapsed onto the bed, and fell asleep. A thumping headache assailed him as soon as he opened his eyes the following morning. - VerA10mthReplied to Zenzii
Maybe 283 - 285???? 😶. Have to read it again to find the information 😔.
Just then, Riftan, who had walked up behind Maxi, cut in rather coldly, "You can resume your conversation later. Both of us would like to rest first." - VerA10mthReplied to Manuela_Colafigli
To answer your question, no I don't 🙈. Especially when a relationship is just starting. Have major trust issues. Messed up, yes, but it's a work in progress for me. 🤷
Is that grungy string that important to him? - VerA10mthReplied to Amy_Anderson_1314
Thank you so much! ☺️
Maxi let out a small sob as she pressed her lips to his, and when Riftan tightened his arms around her in a crushing embrace, she clasped back with all her strength. - VerA10mthCommentedMaxi let out a small sob as she pressed her lips to his, and when Riftan tightened his arms around her in a crushing embrace, she clasped back with all her strength.

Really! Who is going to sell it!
Maxi let out a small sob as she pressed her lips to his, and when Riftan tightened his arms around her in a crushing embrace, she clasped back with all her strength. - VerA10mthCommented
Look here, she will try her hardest to keep her promise. But you have to understand that Trouble is a mistress that likes to be clingy and it will be hard to get rid of it.
Riftan bit her lip. "Say it. Swear to me that you will not throw your life away." - VerA10mthCommented
Yes! The same way that you were unaware of how he felt! These two need a therapy session with Hebaron, Ruth and Sidina! 😢
She stared up at him through her tears. Riftan looked back at her in a daze. Was he truly unaware of how she felt? - VerA10mthCommentedMaxi's lips quivered, and her voice cracked as she forced out, "I-I was… only saddened by the fact that I made you so anxious. I hated knowing that I made you feel that way! If only… I had more faith in you… If only… I-I had been stronger… you wouldn't have had to suffer like this."
- VerA10mthCommented
It was the right decision, but not because of what he is thinking 😞! She did everything for him! 🥹 And his decision for being "overbearing" (don't think that's the right word 🤔. I would say he needs to work on his words 🤷), was for her! What a mess! 😮💨🥲🫠
He rubbed his mouth, adding in a chillingly calm voice, "I am of no help to you. For three years I've thought about this, and that is the conclusion I've reached. My overbearing behavior would have smothered you regardless of everything that happened. I see now that your decision to leave was wise." - VerA10mthCommentedRiftan restlessly swept back his hair. "I didn't mean to say such things. I don't resent you." He bit his lip, then added stiffly, "No, that's not true. The truth is, I don't even know myself. But I do know one thing — you were right to leave. If not for me, then for your own sake. I was… a mess back then."

We are always our worst critics! 😫 Maxi, is the effort that counts!
"It looks horrid."
