Execution (Off Balance, #2)

"Listen, human nature is fucked up. It’s more honest, and more humane, to just lie." —Anonymous

"Every time I am near you, every time I think about you, I feel this way, malysh. You have awakened a beast inside me."

"Lyubov' ne to, chto vy mozhete ponyat', eto to, chto vy chuvstvuyete v svoyem serdtse. Net slov, eto prosto tak."

"Love is not something you can understand, it is something you feel in your heart. There are no words, it just is."

"Krasavitsa,"

Gorgeous

pozhaluysta."

Please

"Only you, Ria," he groaned, "only you. I cannot live without you or this feeling you bring me. I want to be in you every day, all day, for the rest of my life. I want to wake up next to you, make you only mine, and do this every fucking day. This is heaven. You are my everything."

"Grebanyye yamy,"

Fucking pits

"Prosti,"

I’m sorry

"Pozhalyusta prosti, menya,"

Please forgive me

"Mne ochen zhal,"

I’m really sorry

"By the way, I would find you anywhere." I tilted my head to the side in confusion. "You said you are going to move so I cannot show up whenever I wanted. Ria, I will always find you. You have a part of me that no one has ever had, as I do with you."
