Nathalie froze, a shocked look on her face. "Gabriel?" she said softly, approaching him and gently rubbing his back. "Gabriel, wake up."

he jumped back and blinked rapidly. After a few moments, he stood and without a word, he hugged her tight "please, don't leave….please, love, I'm begging you. don't do this." he whispered into her ear "we'll figure something out. Just don't leave."
Nathalie was shocked. For a split second, she remained stiff. Then she relaxed against him. "I would never leave you, Gabriel. I just wanted to keep you safe. If anything happened to you that I could've stopped… I wouldn't be able to forgive myself."
"You can't stop death, love. It's bound to happen to all of us." he said "We'll find a way out of this." he told her, not wanting to let her go
"How? Dimitri doesn't know that you know of his plan with me, yet…" she said thoughtfully, breathing his scent in deeply. It filled her lungs and warmed her.
"exactly, and the less he knows about what I know, the better." He thought for a moment "show me the drawings you've done so far for him."
"You'll have to let me go first," she murmured, blushing slightly.
he shook his head and smiled "not a chance."
She closed her eyes and completely relaxed against him. Her heart didn't feel quite as weighted down now.
he smiled "I'm sorry about last night…." he murmured against her ear
"No, I'm sorry," she replied, her blush returning. "What do you have to apologize for?"
"yelling, getting mad without letting you explain." he said with shame
She kissed his temple lightly. "It's alright," she whispered.
he smiled lightly "it's not." he reluctantly let her go "what do you want for breakfast?"
"It is," she assured him. "What would you like to have?"
he looked at her but desided not to argue "I was thinking of making crepes and croissants"
Her eyes sparkled. "That sounds wonderful."
he nodded and headed to the kitchen
Nathalie hurried up to her room and retrieved her sketchbook from the floor. She smoothed the pages and walked into the kitchen.
he was covered in flour by the time he saw her come in "all in a matter of five minutes, can you believe it?"
She covered her mouth and swallowed a laugh. "Have you ever make crepes and croissants before?"
"I saw that, believe it or not, and yes, just not from scratch…" he cleaned his glasses with a towel that was over his shoulder " I don't think they're supposed to be this wet." he said grabbing up a lump of dough and letting it slid from his fingers
Nathalie grinned and set the sketchbook aside. She walked over and took the dough in her own hands. Her fingers began to work, fixing his mistakes.
he stepped back and let her work while he prepared the crepe batter "designing and baking, what can't you do love?"
She blushed. "Sing," she whispered.
