Callista went still.
Did she love him?
"I would die for you," the words love had been tainted for her, they were... Not the right words. In her mind love was a cruel thing that had her used and abused. If she loved Rem, Callista thought, would he whore her out? Would he used her to achieve his goals and then cast her aside?
But in a moments notice, he took her away. To be safe.
Gently she rose a hand, pressing the back of it to his cheek, "I care about you. I don't ever remember smiling before I met you, you make my heart pound and... You make me feel good. I feel that for you."
