It carried on for some time, until she fell pregnant.
He remembers the day she told him. He often wonders if he'd said something differently whether she would have gone with him.
I asked her to come away with me, and she refused.

I'd never dreamed she might feel anything for me.

~Draco nods slowly, then brings his eyes up to meet Severus'~
Is that the only reason she refused?
