01:05man
01:06who'd broken into my chamber and became his bride elena my contact at the registry checked
01:13you you weren't actually dominic's legal wife something inside my chest shattered i'd lived as
01:19dominic's wife for five years all that time the russo family never accepted me his mother never
01:26used my name only ever referring to me as that girl at family galas i was always seated at the
01:32farthest table in official portraits i was placed at the edge so i could be easily cropped out dominic
01:38said his mother wouldn't let up until i broke so he sent me back to the meretti estate he promised
01:43he'd follow our traditions and complete the formal claiming ritual to bring me back as his donna
01:48then the russo family would have no choice but to accept me i waited for three years i'd held my
01:54tongue longing for this night but he'd come for another woman he'd kept me deceived for years with
02:00a forged marriage license all to hide the truth the one he truly meant to claim was my half-sister
02:05bianca i stared at my reflection my face was empty shouts exploded in the courtyard the ritual had begun
02:15laughter rang out boots thudded against stone and guards put on a show of resisting ritual torches
02:20painted half the sky red all the excitement was for them the celebration was for bianca the other
02:27group of men had come from the valentino family they'd originally come for bianca by the rules of
02:32the ritual if a woman didn't want to be taken she could hide and send them away empty-handed but
02:37bianca
02:37didn't hide she waited in her room to be taken and the man she waited for was my husband the
02:43room i
02:43was in wasn't mine it was bianca's that afternoon my stepmother pulled me aside for once her voice
02:49was gentle elena stay in bianca's room tonight yours is too far back too quiet they'll never find you
02:55the men coming for bianca are savages you've always been tough you can handle the rough play bianca is
03:01fragile if she gets caught in the crossfire it'll be a disaster i said nothing i knew exactly what
03:07she meant by the rules of the claiming the groom's men would storm in the woman was expected to fight
03:12and struggle it was called the gauntlet the harder she fought the more valuable she was considered
03:17the groom had to prove he could take her by force those punches and shoves were real my stepmother
03:23studied my face testing me besides dominic has never been to the meredia state at night
03:28the front room he'll find you faster back then i'd only wanted to make things easier for dominic
03:33i agreed i even texted him my room location but they'd been planning this switch all along
03:40a roar of celebration erupted outside we got her the bride is ours laughter and cheering rang out
03:46followed by the sharp crack of celebratory gunfire i listened but didn't move i knew exactly who they'd
03:52taken i could picture dominic carrying bianca through the crowd his men shielding them as guests
03:57hurled objects and blocked their path bianca would hide her face against his back pretending to
04:02struggle how perfect i lowered my gaze moments later my door was kicked in a group of men flooded into
04:09the dark room their footsteps heavy and chaotic someone seized my arm hands began shoving and striking
04:15me i felt fists slam into my shoulders and back this was the gauntlet the harder the beating the more
04:21the family valued the bride i didn't flinch or resist i let them yank me from my chair and
04:26drag me towards the door at first it felt like a formality but the violence quickly turned ugly
04:33someone slammed my arm against the stone wall
04:40fists began hammering my ribs with real cruel force
04:44this was intentional the pain was excruciating but i didn't make a sound i should have known you
04:50were tough elena i finally understood what my stepmother had meant by calling me tough just when i thought
04:56it would never end someone stepped in to shield me
05:01enough it was a stranger's voice sharp with fury he blocked the others shoving the attackers back with
05:09his arms that's the way it works the harder we hit the more she's worth what rule his voice dropped
05:18to a
05:19dangerous ground this isn't your wife if someone was beating your woman like a dog would you just stand
05:25there and watch the room went silent he glanced back at me in the shadows i could only make out
05:32the sharp line of his jaw then he bent down and hoisted me onto his back who is he he's
05:39taking this
05:39ritual way too seriously he carried me out in long steady strides people chased after us throwing things
05:46and blocking the way but his grip on my legs never wavered when he finally carried me out of my
05:52private
05:52courtyard he paused to catch his breath in the distance the faint glow of ritual torches moved
06:01that was the other group through the bushes i heard their laughter dominic was at the front sweat soaked
06:08but wearing a triumphant smile bianca was on his back her arms wrapped tight around his neck his men were
06:16cheering i lay silent on the stranger's back as they drew near torchlight flickered across my face
06:25dominic's eyes flicked over me and letui the bormormini for a split second then his gaze moved on
06:31turning back to his men as he joked and laughed he didn't recognize me bianca whispered something in his
06:38ear and he leaned in with a soft smile i suddenly thought back to three years ago when i'd returned
06:44to the
06:44moretti estate to visit my father and stayed for a while the first time dominic came to find me
06:49there he'd worn that exact same smile that day my father's men put him to the test they blocked him
06:55at the gates and roughed him up just to see if a russo truly cared for a moretti girl he'd
06:59shown up
07:00at my door with a split lip and bruised ribs i asked if it hurt for my wife i'd take
07:06a lot worse
07:07he was a spoiled russo heir who'd never been hurt before yet he'd taken a beating from my father's men
07:12just for me he always acted like it was nothing but i knew the truth my father's men didn't go
07:18easy on outsiders another time it poured rain he showed up soaked to the bone his shirt torn
07:25but the pastries tucked inside his jacket were still dry i called him an idiot for coming out in weather
07:32like that didn't want you to wait too long i held those pastries staring at the cut on his cheek
07:37and
07:38thought this is the man i'll spend my life with but now he carried bianca with that exact same smile
07:45come on bianca my vision blurred for a second then sharpened again not gonna drop me are you no
07:52never are you sure are you sure when did it all start to change probably three years ago when my
07:58father died i felt completely hollow inside i'll handle it dominic canceled everything to stay at the
08:03morety estate with me for two weeks the day he had to leave he took my hand and spoke softly
08:09elena
08:10you just got through the funeral and you look awful if my mother sees you like this she'll start on
08:14you
08:14again i don't want you putting up with that just stay here at the estate and rest you've always
08:18wanted to take over the family business right i'll go back and smooth things over at home then come get
08:22you i looked at him and nodded i was truly exhausted from the constant fighting with his mother back then
08:28i believed he was looking out for me that he didn't want me to go back and face those cold
08:32stairs
08:33only later did i realize distance doesn't create beauty it just makes it easier for him to love
08:38someone else last year when mrs russo turned 60 dominic came to bring me back the moment i stepped
08:44inside i saw my stepsister bianca she was supposed to be in palermo for work but there she was in
08:50the
08:50living room arranging fruit her movement smooth and familiar so she lived here now dominic paused while
08:56taking off his shoes and explained bianca's workplace is near our house she's staying
09:00here temporarily there wasn't a trace of guilt in his voice and i didn't push for more my stepmother
09:06had married into the moretti family long after bianca and i were grown we'd never been close over
09:11the years we'd only seen each other during holidays i couldn't quite put into words how i felt about her
09:16staying there hey sis don't worry i'm just crashing here for a bit i'll move out once i find a
09:22place
09:23i nodded but said nothing back then i never could have imagined for three years i waited alone in the
09:29empty moretti estate and all that time my little sister had been working in the russo house now
09:34watching bianca on dominic's back it all suddenly clicked i hadn't been waiting for him to bring me
09:40home at all i'd been waiting for my heart to die bianca's voice drifted closer on the wind what about
09:46elena if she finds out she'll lose it she's all bark and no bite she'll get over it after throwing
09:52a fit
09:52he paused his voice lowering it's pitch black during the claiming i just made a mistake she'll
09:58feel sorry for me before she even gets angry when she finds out i'll just smooth it over
10:04bianca laughed softly my knuckles whitened one of his men spoke up suddenly kappa what if someone
10:10else claimed elena the group fell quiet then dominic laughed you think she'd let anyone take
10:16her without a fight with that temper of hers she'll tear the place apart tonight true no way elena goes
10:21quietly feel sorry for that poor bass wonder what he looks like now the laughter swelled i looked down
10:29he must have heard everything heard them laughing about me heard how they thought i'd tear the roof
10:34off but he said nothing he just kept walking at the gate of the meretti estate we ran straight into
10:41them
10:42torchlight flickered over us luca yeah it really is you you claiming someone tonight too yeah which family
10:55a neighbor family a neighbor family casso man always figured you'd stay single forever congrats
11:03dominic took a step forward i felt his gaze linger on my back that look lasted too long long enough
11:09i
11:10almost thought he'd recognized me let's go wait
11:19dominic my ankle hurts what's wrong did you twist it earlier i don't know it just aches
11:27let's go we need to get to your place before sunrise dominic didn't waste another second
11:32gonna run i'll buy you a drink next time
11:36their footsteps faded into the distance
11:43he really didn't recognize you i rested my face against his shoulder and said nothing
11:48my eyes stung his pace slowed steps gentle and steady the moon was bright the road stretched on i had
11:55no
11:56idea where he was taking me but in that moment i thought anywhere was better than going back
12:02music filled the russo estate hall the whole place buzzed with celebration wine flowed freely and couples
12:10danced to old songs this was the party after a successful claiming by tradition it would last until
12:17sunrise dominic sat at the edge of the crowd phone in hand no messages from elena that wasn't like her
12:25she never kept things bottled up if she found out i claimed the wrong woman she would have called
12:30screaming by now i already had my excuses it was pitch black don't overthink it you're the only one i
12:38want i'll wait for her to blow up over the phone and talk her down gently she'd hurl some threat
12:44and he'd
12:45smooth it over done she never stayed mad at me for long but this time no call no text no
12:52yelling
12:55capo still waiting elena don't bother signal's out here her area gets fine signal then her phone's
13:01probably dead or she didn't see it she's probably off beating someone up right now
13:07dominic stayed quiet elena had once told him i set a special ringtone for your messages
13:13don't want to miss them i'd sit out in the courtyard till midnight just waiting for you to call
13:20he didn't believe she didn't see it but he had no better explanation all right quit overthinking
13:26this is your big night your bride's waiting for you what are you doing sitting here tradition says
13:32once you've claimed her you stay with her all night finish the ritual i told beyonce this was
13:37temporary i just got her out of there i didn't plan on didn't plan on what capo this is the
13:42claiming not
13:43a game you took her you finish it otherwise you insult her whole family besides you and elena have
13:48been together for years she won't care about formalities just get through tonight dominic
13:52opened his mouth to argue what are you guys talking about dominic froze dominic i know this one's fake
13:59but can we at least finish the ritual her eyes glistening i know you love elena but can you pretend
14:07i'm your bride just tonight dominic said nothing bianca bowed her head her lashes fluttering
14:20dominic picked up his glass linking arms with bianca light danced across both their faces cheers and
14:27laughter erupted around them loud enough to rattle the walls his eyes kept straying to the dark road
14:33beyond the estate the same road he'd carried bianca down tonight at the gate he ran into
14:39luca santoro they met years ago at a family party they had a few drinks together acquaintances at best
14:49that man had been quiet but steady the kind of man you could trust with your life tonight luca had
14:54been
14:55carrying someone too said she was from another family she was thin lying quietly on luca's back
15:00only a glimpse of her neck was visible the line of that neck the curve of her bowed head it
15:05had felt
15:06strangely familiar but bianca had cried out in pain so he hadn't thinked again dominic dominic is that
15:14okay yeah then he stepped aside pulled out his phone and dialed elena's number he needed to explain to
15:22make sure she didn't misunderstand finally someone picked up hello background noise sounds of people
15:34moving things dominic blinked let me talk to elena elena
15:45elena she's not here we're packing up her stuff to send over send over send where elena never lets
15:54her phone leave her hand where are you sending her things the woman hesitated not expecting the question
16:00i'm elena's aunt we have to pack her things and send to her husband's house husband's house
16:05so elena was preparing to move back in with me that made sense he'd always planned to bring her back
16:11after the claiming stop leaving her at the marathi estate alone auntie about the claiming tonight
16:17there was a bit of a mix-up did elena say anything no several families did claiming tonight what would
16:23elena have to say despite the words a sense of unease surged in him oh i can't talk anymore we're
16:29busy
16:29packing both elena and bianca were taken tonight we have to get their things ready dominic froze
16:36what did she mean both were taken didn't i only take bianca as for elena she would never go with
16:43someone she didn't love auntie you said elena was taken yes by the santori family dominic's throat
16:50tightened he couldn't speak he suddenly remembered something and his mind exploded santori
16:58luca the man he met at the gate the one carrying a girl saying she was his bride
17:03that silhouette that looked so familiar elena she didn't fight fight why would she a claiming
17:11isn't a bad thing she was as quiet as she could be she just went with him we all thought
17:16it was
17:16strange with her temper shouldn't she have beaten the man but nothing happened she just let him carry
17:21her away dominic's hand began to shake quiet as she could be just let him carry her away no that
17:28wasn't elena no that wasn't elena that wasn't the elena i knew he remembered talking to elena about
17:37claimings before she had sat on his doorstep swinging her legs speaking excitedly the girls
17:44in moretti family if they're claimed by someone they don't like they don't just let them they kick bite
17:50and scratch they fight until the man gives up himself you're so wild who would dare claim you
17:58well it depends on who's coming if it's you
18:05i just put on a show of struggling a little for appearances
18:10just a little three times at most if you came to claim me i'd probably be the first to jump
18:17on your
18:17back so you wouldn't have to take those hits this girl is so foolish auntie elena
18:22when was she taken when tonight right after you left dominic opened his mouth but not a single word
18:30came out hello dominic are you still there i'm here why are you asking so much elena's husband will
18:38take care of her you claimed bianca tonight didn't you that poor girl's had it rough take good care of
18:43her all right i have to go we're still packing elena left in such a hurry she forgot so many
18:49things
18:49we have to get them to her bye now the line went dead the dial tone rang in his ears
18:54a steady
18:55hammering sound over and over he stood at the edge of the crowd white knuckling his phone around him
19:02were songs laughter music all the noise of celebration someone walked past slapping his shoulder in
19:08congratulations someone shoved a drink into his hand tugging him toward the dance floor bianca waved
19:14at him from across the fire a soft smile on her face but he couldn't hear a thing while he'd
19:19been
19:19carrying bianca away elena had been lying on another man's back they had passed each other in the dark
19:24he'd thought she would fight scream resist but she did nothing capo where the hell are you going
19:32to get my wife what wife you claim bianca tonight you walk out now you insult the whole moretti family
19:39this was temporary getting bianca out of a bad situation that's it temporary capo you completed
19:47the ritual the whole palermo knows bianca's yours now you leave her tonight she's got no standing
19:51no protection bianca stood by the fire watching him eyes uncertain one night stay tonight keep up
20:00appearances tomorrow you can do whatever you want but tonight you owe bianca that much
20:06dominic clenched his fists then slowly let go he walked back to the fire where were you going
20:17nowhere bianca lowered her head not asking more that night he sat by the fire watching the flames
20:23flicker and die he watched the people come and go watch the moon rise and slowly set he called elena
20:29countless times it was always off at dawn he rose and left dominic he didn't look back
20:38he drove back to corleone the sun was just rising the hounds were baying and the morning mist was
20:45lifting from the vineyards he stopped an old groundskeeper and asked where luca's villa was
20:50the man pointed toward a newly built villa at the foot of the hill he ran over the iron gates
20:56stood open
20:57but the house was empty looking for don luca he left at dawn with his new bride said there was
21:05urgent
21:06family business and had to return dominic stood frozen in place when did they come back how should
21:13i know dominic stood before that empty house for a long time without moving he pulled out his phone
21:20and called elena again still off he scrolled through his contacts and realized he didn't even have luca's
21:27number they were never close he didn't know where luca lived what city he was in he knew nothing he
21:34only
21:34remembered last night the way elena had lain so quietly on that man's back he rushed back to the
21:39russo estate picked up bianca and headed back to palermo the whole way bianca was quiet occasionally
21:46glancing at him wanting to speak he didn't want to talk so she didn't ask but elena wasn't at their
21:53home he had failed again in the days that followed his mind was still trapped in that claiming
22:01just a little more just a little more and he could have stopped his woman from being taken
22:08dominic she no longer called him brother-in-law she held a cup of warm milk you haven't eaten much
22:15these past few days drink some milk thank you bianca didn't leave she sat beside him to talk to you
22:23your mother refused to let you legally marry my sister that was her condition for tolerating the
22:28relationship so you gave elena a fake certificate to make her believe you were committed
22:34then to save me from the valentino family you are registered a real marriage with me bianca lowered
22:42her head her lashes trembling you claimed me in front of the families completed the ritual made
22:48me your donna dominic since it has come to this why don't we simply be together dominic froze what did
22:56you say do you dare say you don't truly like me you legally married me you completed the claiming ritual
23:05you made me your donna you say it was to save me from valentino but you never had to go
23:11that far
23:12just admit it you like me as for elena she's just not right for you all she cares about is
23:20her dad's
23:20business she never even thinks about helping you with your work or fitting in with your crowd what's
23:26she even gonna give you but i'm different i know what you want and i know how to make your
23:31mom happy
23:31i can give you way more than she ever could dominic looked into those eyes that were nothing like elena's
23:39elena's eyes were bright like stars in the mountains no secrets no pretense happy was happy
23:44sad was sad plain and simple but bianca's eyes were soft like a pool of water that could pull you
23:51under before you even realized it he suddenly asked himself back when he'd go to the meretti estate
23:56bringing things for elena did he always bring a little something for bianca too
24:02and later when bianca said her sister got the family business
24:05she had to find work was it just because he felt sorry for how fragile she seemed that he
24:10let her move into his home he wasn't sure anymore was that casual kindness he'd shown her over the
24:16past three years really just a coincidence and when he saw bianca smile was that feeling in his chest
24:22really just the affection of a brother he didn't know when it started or perhaps he always knew but
24:28refused to admit it he only knew one thing for certain elena was the one he was supposed to marry
24:33the wife he chose the girl he was willing to give up everything
24:38dominic snapped back looking at her but thinking of elena thinking of her lying on that man's back
24:43thinking of how she hadn't said a word thinking of how she hadn't even bothered to struggle his heart
24:48felt as if a piece had been savagely carved out so the mistaken identity he thought no one knew elena
24:54had
24:54seen at all so she walked away in the other direction
25:00not long after his mother arrived walked in already lecturing since you and bianca are registered just
25:06live your lives why are you constantly thinking about that woman who ran off with another man and hasn't
25:13even come home dominic knew she would say this in these three years bianca had charmed her well she made
25:18her almost forget who it was that used to be insulted in the kitchen who worked until midnight
25:23without a word of thanks bianca knew how to act cute how to speak softly how to buy expensive gifts
25:29to
25:29make her smile and elena elena didn't know these things elena only knew how to work hard how to be
25:35good to him how to stand there and wait to be seen but she was never seen mother elena didn't
25:42run off
25:44if that isn't running off what is she was claimed claiming our normal out there if she had you in
25:51her heart why hasn't she come back because i have no right to ask her to his mother froze back
25:58then
25:58you said the only condition for accepting her was not registering the marriage so the contract i had
26:05with her was fake from beginning to end she was never truly my wife since she isn't back i have
26:12no
26:12standing to look for her if she wants to marry someone else his throat tightened i don't even
26:19have the right to object then who do you blame i did interfere with the registration but the rest
26:24was your choice if you didn't like bianca why did you claim her why did you register with her
26:30dominic's throat choked he couldn't explain bianca was to help her leave registering was for her status
26:36but saying those things now felt pathetic even to him by helping her he had lost himself i'm telling
26:43you everyone in the family knows about you and bianca you legally married that girl you claimed her in
26:50front of the families you made her your donna and now you want to discard her what does that say
26:56about the russo family we're divorced what we divorced two months ago i couldn't live with her
27:08then what do you want to do now what did he want he wanted to laugh he wanted to find
27:12elena but with
27:13what he didn't even know if she still hated him he didn't even have the chance to use a divorce
27:18to
27:18force her to see him three years later you're either locked in the moretti estate or driving across
27:23sicily chasing a ghost get out for once dominic every family sends someone tonight you should show
27:30your face the hall was crowded with the elite of the most powerful syndicates dominic wandered through
27:36it aimlessly eyes passing over each face and moving on three years he thought sometimes after
27:43her father died she had nobody left maybe that's why she never went back to moretti estate she'd had
27:48him once but what had he done with that he'd made her wait three years then carried another woman
27:52out right in front of her what had he actually given her a fake marriage license empty words
27:59three years of his mother's contempt he'd watched every bit of it and never once stepped in front of
28:05it and in the end on what should have been the best night of her life he walked away from
28:10her for good
28:11was she somewhere doing well now had she already forgotten him
28:21dominic isn't that elena the man was in a black shirt focused unhurried the woman beside him
28:30she was speaking to someone and her eyes curved into a smile that was the person he'd been looking
28:36for for three years standing right there close enough to see elena
28:55hello what can i help you with elena it's me she looked at him the way you look at someone
29:02you
29:02half recognize i'm sorry do we know each me i'm terrible with faces she looked at him again more
29:07carefully mr russo it's been a while she genuinely hadn't recognized him three years dominic was gaunt
29:16and weathered no longer the handsome dashing man he had once been luca looked up then and glanced at him
29:22he said nothing simply stepping closer to elena's side it was a natural protective stance you two
29:30are you are you truly truly together elena turned slightly to look at luca that look was soft certain
29:38and natural mr russo let me introduce you this is my wife during the claiming you met her remember
29:46wife that's how can that count that was a mistake a blunder it was dark and i claimed the wrong
29:52person
29:53claimed the wrong person mr russo in our tradition a claiming isn't a kidnapping
29:57it's a silent agreement between families if the girl doesn't want it can she be taken
30:04if she truly didn't want to go she would have beat me until my own mother didn't recognize me
30:13the words were a knife in dominic's chest he remembered what elena had said if it's someone
30:18i don't like i'll fight until he don't recognize himself but the truth was she had lain quietly on
30:24luca's back without a single sound he stood there watching elena turn her head to meet the other man's
30:30gaze if you're here on russo business i can point you to the right people if not you're in the
30:34way
30:37elena listen to me listen to what listen to you say the marriage was fake listen to you tell me
30:42about your plan to swap brides so the fragile bianca wouldn't suffer you you heard all that
30:49mr russo meeting today is fate but it doesn't mean you can harass my wife luca she's my wife luca
30:58said
30:58nothing only looked down at elena he had explained this to his wife before that night
31:04he had followed the crew to the marati estate but not for himself his cousin had wanted bianca
31:10and dragged him along for support he couldn't refuse so he went but at the edge of the estate
31:17the cousins suddenly clutched clutched his stomach his face pale i can't i can't that wine at lunch was
31:25bad i need a place he waved him off you go ahead find bianca and hide her actually she doesn't
31:31like me
31:31i just wanted to try if she'd accept me if she won't we'll just leave don't let her suffer with
31:38that he vanished into the trees luca stood in the darkness feeling ridiculous he came to help with a
31:45claiming and the groom had run off he stood there not knowing whether to stay or go later
31:54he went in not to claim anyone but to find bianca
32:05and tell her to hide luca said nothing only looked down at elena he had explained this to his wife
32:13before that night he had followed the crew to the moretti estate but not for himself his cousin had
32:19wanted bianca and dragged him along for support he couldn't refuse so he went i can't i can't that
32:24wine at lunch was bad i need a place he waved him off you go ahead find bianca and hide
32:29her actually
32:29she doesn't like me i just wanted to try if she'd accept me if she won't we'll just leave don't
32:34let
32:34her suffer with that he vanished in the darkness feeling ridiculous he came to help with a claiming
32:39and the groom had run off he stood there not knowing whether to stay or go later he went in
32:46not to claim anyone but to find bianca and tell her to hide then another crew poured through the
32:52door and started throwing their weight around first it was the motions then it started being rude
32:58she didn't move didn't fight back just sat there and took it he couldn't watch it he walked over
33:04crouched down in front of her do you want to leave she looked at him and her eyes turned home
33:11but she
33:12didn't crew she simply nended and climbed onto his back perhaps that was fate
33:19if his cousin hadn't had a stomach ache perhaps in her despair she really would have gone with or
33:24perhaps after they found the mistake they would have parted ways peacefully treated the night as a
33:28blunder but there are no ifs he and elena decided to give each other a chance so they made the
33:33claiming
33:33real and so they found their current happiness elena suddenly called his name her voice soft
33:39didn't you get your wish and claim bianca
33:43dominic's throat choked i bianca he and bianca had divorced long ago but what point was there in
33:51saying that now elena i claimed the wrong one that night i was supposed to claim you i thought you'd
33:57fight i thought you'd i never imagined bianca kind i'll give bianca back to you i'll give everything
34:02back to you give elena back to me elena smiled a light faint smile dominic a claiming isn't a game
34:08in our traditions a mistake is the will of heaven heaven willed me to go with him so i went
34:13heaven
34:14willed me to go with him so i went you claimed bianca and i married luca we're even dominic stood
34:22there
34:22shaking he saw luca gently put an arm around her shoulder he wanted to chase them but he couldn't
34:28move in the crowd elena's back grew further and further away the rain came suddenly and the crowd
34:34began to disperse dominic still stood there in the rain he suddenly remembered the summer years ago
34:40when he went to find elena you fool i was afraid you'd be waiting then eyes bright like shanton stars
34:47dominic i'll wait for you okay he'd made her wait for three years in the rain he suddenly laughed and
34:55he
34:55couldn't tell the rain
