He brought me through the garden, where it seemed like every flower known possible could be found here. The grass was warm beneath my shoes, and it looked well maintained and freshly cut.

The smell of all the flowers in one place gave my nose a tingly feeling, like it was working magic with my emotions. But of course, I couldn't help but remain a bit tense for what Adrian was about to tell me.

We stopped at a bench that was surrounded by flowers, flowers -and more flowers.

I think I just figured out Adrian's fourth drug, if he was counting drinking, smoking and well, me.

He sat down first, with one arm along the top of the bench, crossing his legs in a way only men could pull off. He looked out into the distance.

I crossed my arms over my chest, as I sat down beside him, looking out into the distance with him.

No wonder Adrian found peace here. It was hard not to. Even after all the events that had happened in my, so called life, my shoulders seemed to relax a bit and I couldn't help but enjoy the way the sun glowed on my skin and the smell of the flowers lingering in the air.

If only life were this simple.

As we sat there in silence I began to think about random things. I noticed a great change in Adrian. He wasn't his usually quirky self. He hadn't even given me one of his dirty remarks yet. Not one. For some reason, I was beginning to miss his old self.

Ironically enough, it was easier to be around the old Adrian than the quiet and composed one because when he was like this, it kind of gave me that weird feeling as if any minute he will go off talking about nonsense and I would just look at him with blank eyes, not understanding what was going through his head.

I decided to break the ice. "You know Adrian, you're really freaking me out these days. You're not smoking in my presence, and I don't smell a single drop of alcohol on you. What's going on?"

Finally breaking contact with whatever he was staring at in the distance he looked over to me and said, " It's okay little dhampir." I guess the old Adrian was back. "No need to worry about me. "

"But tell me, what has the amazing Rose Hathaway been up to? Coming back home anytime soon?" He looked away again, bending down to pick up a flower to twirl between his fingers.

"No," I said thickly. " I can't."

"I see. You can't?" He paused, " Or...you won't ?"

"Both" I replied.

The silence seemed to drag on forever, until I couldn't take it anymore and stood up to touch one of the flowers on a bush nearby. I realized that they were roses.

"She's graduating tomorrow." That caused me to stop what I was doing and let my hand drop to my side, making one of the roses fall out of the bush with the sway of my hand.

Had it really been that long? Was I really in Russia for two months? What happened to all that time? where had it all gone? These questions invaded my thoughts.

I was going to miss her graduation...my graduation.

I swallowed what seemed like dryness stuck in my throat, as I hugged my stomach, not daring to turn around and letting Adrian see my reaction.

"Well, tell her..." What did I want to tell her? Did she even want to hear what I had to say? I missed her. That's what I wanted to say, but the words couldn't seem to come out.

As if answering my thoughts he said, " She misses you. A lot."

Ugh. Why was this happening? He wasn't supposed to tell me that.

I had told myself from the very beginning that if I didn't know how Lissa was feeling then I wouldn't regret my decision of leaving her. But this was it. She missed me, how could I not turn back now?

I was about to turn around and face Adrian, when I felt a hand on my shoulder, and before anything else could happen, my eyes fluttered open only to realize that my face stung from all the unconcious tears that were running down my cheeks... and that I had fallen asleep on Nadya's couch.
