She saw movement in the mirror and waited, putting the final touches on her mascara before turning around to face him. "Good morning," she said with a small laugh. It was forced, but good enough for now.

"Did you sleep alright?" She put her hands on his hips and placed a kiss to his cheek.

"Exactly." She put a hand on his cheek. "Go get ready, then. We have to sneak out." Not that she was going to rush him. Spending time with him was the main goal. It didn't really matter where. Or what they were doing.

She moved away from him at that. "I'll get breakfast and meet you in the CES?" She just hoped that she could avoid as many people as possible.

The day passed much too quickly for Sveta, even though it felt like hours. The clock on her phone said that it was late, but she clung to every moment she could, pretending not to even see the time. She had brought food back from the dining hall for them earlier, but she hadn't eaten any of it. The thought of food just made her sick. The thought of doing anything without him right now made her sick.

She turned music on softly and walked back to him. "How long will you stay?" Time. Time was her enemy.

She looked up to him, pleading. "Just a while longer, please?" She wrapped her arms around his neck. More time. That's all she wanted. Just a few minutes more.

"Just stay with me until I fall asleep?" Her voice had gotten desperate and while she didn't want to, she knew she was descending into pleading. But this was important to her. She didn't want to see him leave. She wanted to be with him and have one last night where she could fall asleep with his arms around her. To have the rest of the night to pretend. Until she woke up in the morning
