    You couldn't stay close to him, not to a mercenary from eastern europe. It's against everything your family stands for. But how could you just ignore the man you've fought alongside for weeks. The teamwork, the chemistry, the silent understanding was more than you ve ever had before with your work partners. So you went to see him, against the rules and the warnings.

    Back to Edonia, to the place you were so happy to be far from at first. But now it held another meaning. So you gathered your courage and went straight in, trying not to switch the mercenaries attention towards yourself. But that was a hard task.

    Few steps in and you were already surrounded, already pinned under their gazes and held at gun points. Thousands of questions and eyes, yet you were looking for him only. "think someone would buy her? " asks one of them. "We could get a pretty penny".

    "That's my woman you're talking about"

    His voice stopped everyone in tracks, his heavy footsteps made space through the crowd that suddenly showed you the respect you deserved. Then all left. Only you, him, and his big gentle palms holding your face as delicately as ever. "What on God's name are you doing here? You promised me to stay away from this, you promised your family"
