Ronan adores you. If there is one fact in the entire world that is true, it is that he loves you. He just doesn't know how to express it.

Ronan slumps against the bathroom door, you've barricaded yourself inside again. He buried his head in his hands as his father tries to talk you out. It has been three weeks since he kidnapped you now. Three weeks since you woke and screamed at him. He forgave you for that, you must have been scared, and he could never be cross with his love. It has been a continuous game of cat and mouse for the last three weeks. At the first chance, you hide.

His parents are trying their best to help him. They love their son, their poor, sad boy. They would do anything to make him better. They invested in the best security possible around the manor, you have no way of escape. They can't see why you wouldn't want their son, he's perfect to them. Cecilia has tried to take a softer touch to you, a maternal comfort, but you will not allow it. She's sure she will get through to you in time. She's going to be your mother in law after all. James has less patience. He tries not to interact with you for his son's sake. He doesn't understand your resistance, it infuriates him.
