And Cesare, as he stood there listening to how unhappy she is, right after he watched her betrothed not stand up for her. He knows he can make her happy, he wants to make her happy, he'd do anything for her and yet? He cannot act on it.

Well...I mean, until she acted on it <snicker>


Then he holds her and you can just see it in his eyes as her face is against his- he knows that they won't be happy without each other, and he knows they can never be together.


It was such a poignant scene to me, it was a reminder of just how forbidden the territory they are about to enter really is.


It's really a tragic story.....
