Before I could respond, he leaned in, his hands moving to undo the buttons of my blouse.
His lips trailed down my shoulder, each kiss igniting a fire that I couldn't resist.

I hesitated, unsure of how to express what I was feeling, a whirlwind of emotions.
"A child is not a tool to fix our relationship, and I'm not sure I'm ready to bring him into the world. Especially with the situation we're in right now." I closed my eyes, trying to block out the emotion in his gaze, "That's it Leo, I'm getting off. Don't look forfor a while, I need stto figure out our relationship."

"What are you doing here?" I asked, more curious than surprised.
He grinned, pushing off the pillar to stand in front of me.
"What, no warm welcome? I'm hurt. But seriously, I'm here to escort you on this trip. Can't let you go off on your own now, can I?" I raised an eyebrow, half-amused, half-annoyed.
"Since when do you play bodyguard, Rolin?" He shrugged, his smile never wavering.
"Since someone as lovely as you decided to go on a dangerous journey. You know me, always the gentleman." I couldn't help but laugh, shaking my head at his antics.
But before I could respond, Lena's voice cut through my thoughts, sharp with warning.

"I'll do as you ask, Liz," she replied softly, her voice tinged with concern. "But be careful. Lorne and Leo are not in the best state of mind right now." I nodded, though I wasn't sure if I was reassuring her or myself.
Rolin, sitting beside me, seemed to sense my turmoil.
He turned towith a playful glint in his eyes.
"You know, I had a feeling I was running away with a beautiful woman," he said, chuckling softly.
I managed a bitter laugh, though the humor felt hollow.
"More like you're being dragged into my mess," I replied, shaking my head.
"Mess or not, I'm here willingly," Rolin said with a shrug, his easygoing demeanor unwavering.
