Chapter 37

When Ion and Christian returned to the gypsy camp, Nadya was waiting. She ran to the horses before the men could even dismount.

“I was worried,” she gazed up at Christian.

“I know, love, but I’m here now. I promised you that I would be back quickly…and see? I’m fine,” He raised his hands in a gesture to make light of the situation. As he and Ion got off their horses, another of the group came to retrieve the animals.

Before he could move a single step, Nadya wrapped her arms around Christian and buried her face in his chest. Looking down at her, Christian saw that she was crying.

“What’s this?” he raised her face gently with his fingers so that he could look into her eyes.

“I don’t know what I’d do if something happened to you. I know it’s bad luck to talk like that, but I can’t help it, Christian. I’m so scared. I wish this war was over. I feel like I can’t stand it anymore.”

“Shhhh, it will be okay,” he spoke to her soothingly as he patted her hair. “I will take care of you….and before you know it….the Germans will be gone and we will be living like a boring old married couple.”

“Will we live in wagons the way the gypsies always did? Can you live that way?” she asked, smiling through her tears.

“With you I could live anywhere. You mean everything to me, Nadya, you tiny little angel. You have become my whole life. I live to make you happy and to protect you from harm. Trust me please… It brings me great distress to see you worry…all right? So don’t worry, please… Trust me. I know what I am doing. I will make things right for us,” he nodded at her firmly.

“Will you tell me what the mission is?” she asked.

“Not now… I don’t want to talk about it just now. Please sweetheart…just trust me?”

“Yes, all right… I’ll try.”
