in a way, he was now asking her to marry him.
Her earlier doubts about whether she could go through with this even if he agreed came back in a rush. If she wanted to stop this, now would be the time to do it.
Agreeing to this would mean placing her life in this man’s hands. She’d done it with Sergei, and to a lesser degree Viktor. But they were practically family. This man was a stranger. A man she knew nothing about but the little Viktor had told her. Including the fact that Viktor trusted him. Was that enough?
But it wasn’t as though she could turn back now. It was she who had asked him. And there were no other options available to her. This was her only chance. The stranger or certain death.
So why did the choices seem equally perilous?
She forced herself to swallow, to lift her head and keep every trace of doubt from her face.
“Yes,” she said.
And with that, her future was secure.
For now.
