A Christmas wish (S1 Ep.14-2)

Short was the moment that followed. There was so much that I wanted to ask. The festive lights of the building that was headed the way warned me for the various appearances in the garden. So I kept quiet until we get right next to one of the access doors to the Ballroom.

Rose: Once again thank you!

Seth: Are you not going to come in?

Rose: I… I need to go fresh up. - My embarrassed look sought evidence of his existence, while feared someone approach and question our proximity, longed for such to happen.

Mikhael noticed my awkwardness and nodded with an “I’ll see you”. However, his gentle touch on my arm left on me a tightness in my chest. Was he gently saying goodbye?! I walked away without looking back. How I wish I had done it. How I wanted to ask him to stay.

I feel that I need to meet him, still, knowing that he’s looking for his Anastacia made me recede. I only could get to know him if he allowed himself to meet me as me, Rose. I would have to stand for this to happen. The affection I felt for this stranger, wouldn't let me move forward. Broke me inside not been his beloved, but much more hurt, knowing that he would never come to me because it's just me.

Joan: Oh, Mikhael. Thank God. – Said as she bumped it to him in the ballroom.

Seth: What's going on?

Joan: I… I talked to Rose about her origins. And she disappeared. I've looked everywhere, I can't find her.

Seth: Calm Down, Rebecca. She is well.

Joan: How do you know? I shouldn't have told her. I thought here she would be safe and still ...

Seth: Rebecca, Rebecca! Look, she's fine… And I believe you have a lot to talk about but give her at least tonight. When she’s ready she will come to you. For now, with your excuse. - Forgetting the world surrounding us, addressed to me, extended his hand – Milady - and invited me to dance.

Rose: Are you here?

Seth: Well, after tonight I think you will have no more doubts if I'm flesh and bone.

Rose: You know they're all looking at us, right?!

Seth: I know, but ... - Looked at me right in the eye and sketching a sweet smile said. - It's Christmas and at this moment there are only you and me. My little Rose.

I blushed with his words. I didn’t know how to dance that well, yet, in his hands glided, flowing to the music. Was more than I imagined. And ... He called me by my name… The reflection of his words was in his eyes fixed on me, exercising a certain domain. My fascination was full for the trust he transpose when holding my back, delicate and firmly. Such is the overwhelming of emotions about me, that I feel is he that keeps me standing, is he my pillar and just he and I exist at this moment...
