Justine felt her heart break when Harry pushed her away. She didn't have the strength to fight him.

"Give me a chance. Time. To learn what this is because I feel something." She didn't know what that something was but it was a fragile bud of affection and love that Harry could easily crush in the palm of him hand. She was pleading with him for time. Her dark eyes hurt and aching as confusion, pain and love gripped her chest. It was all so confusing.

She'd never felt this kind of love and hadn't tried. It was like a fairy tale but Harry made her want to believe.

She closed her eyes and fought back to fear and panic. She was too weak to lash out at him now but it took effort for her to control her thoughts. "Just don't leave. Please." Justine whispered.

"Believe… you help me… believe." Her voice cracked and she felt her exhaustion flood her limbs.
