Dimitri belikov Quote by Richelle Mead
““I love you, Roza." He kissed me again. "I'll always be here for you. I'm not going to let anything happen to you." The words were wonderful and dangerous. He shouldn't have said anything like that to me. He shouldn't have been promising he'd protect me, not when he was supposed to dedicate his life to protecting Moroi like Lissa. I couldn't be first in his heart, just like he couldn't be first in mine. That was why I shouldn't have said what I said next-but I did anyway. "And I won't let anything happen to you," I promised. "I love you." He kissed me again, swallowing off any other words I might have added.””

[...] The question was: How long did I have to figure out if the impossible was actually possible? Because if Dimitri showed up…” quote by Richelle Mead](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/81e/richelle-mead-46_dimitri-belikov_do-you-believe-in-fairy-tales-i-asked-lo_112178.jpg)
