The time is finally here

Roman watched Julie as if she was the only person in the entire room, and there was nothing there that could distract and divert his attention to something else. There was fascination in her eyes, a smile on her lips and her eyes fixed on the students who rehearsed at the centre of the stage. 

It was good to see the innocence in her was still intact, but the question was for how long it would be before it would shed away once reality would come to appear in front of her. 

He had tried to spend most of his time with her, spending every possible minute with her as if it was the last. And the reason was that he knew things wouldn't stay the same as it was now, once the Elders would wake up from their long rest. 

Julie felt Roman's gaze on her from the side, and she turned to look at him. He didn't look away even after being caught staring at her.
