Yuri sighed, pausing for only a heartbeat before he clasped her face, framing it in his grip. Dark and glistening, his eyes bored into hers. “With everything I am, I swear. I will keep her safe. I will look out for her as I always have you, no matter what happens.”
At his fiercely whispered vow, a smile parted her lips.
“I believe you, brother.”
And why wouldn’t she? Yuri had already proved he’d do anything to help her. Already made the greatest sacrifice she could ever think of. Once more, Yuri took a seat next to her. Again, he let his fingers continue their lazy path through her hair. However, Catija could not relax this time. Instead, the prick of conscience’s needle stabbed the center of her heart. The unspeakable truth of what she’d forced him to do those years ago bled out before her.
“I have so many wrongs to right, Yuri. I do not think I can ever fix them all.”
Catija tilted her chin to look at him. His jaw set in a firm line, his pensive gaze focused somewhere straight ahead, every handsome feature of his face was taut with unspoken emotion.
“Especially not the unspeakable wrong I caused you.”
Yuri blinked, his stern facade cracking at her words. “You’re rectifying that now,” he replied, dropping his focus to the ground.
“Yes. But is it too little, too late?”
His gaze snapped to hers, warmth and compassion glowing behind his dark eyes. “No, Cat. It’s never too late to make amends.”
Catija nodded and rested her head back on his shoulders, allowing herself one more moment in her big brother’s arms. One more second of letting the pressure, the fear, the uncertainty fade away before she had to once again put on the persona she’d been destined to wear since birth.
The music in the background began to fade. A sense of panic flared to life inside Catija. Her heart beat faster and a cloak of dread tightened around her. She gripped his shirt, clutching him tight as if he might disappear if she let go.
