worry about this anymore.” 
                  I nodded as I grabbed her hand and she pulled me over Eli, “Let’s leave before he wakes up.”
                  “Okay,” I said, breathlessly.  We walked as normal as we could through the shop, picking up my dress as we did.  Then, we raced to the car with Aurora and Mirella behind us.  When we were away from the shop, I looked at Sophia. 
                  “How did you know?” I asked, frowning. 
                  Aurora smiled at me, “When you didn’t return, I got worried because of what happened to me.”
                  I smiled grateful for my sister, “I’m glad you did.”
                  “Well, be glad that I realize that history always does one thing,” she whispered.
                  “What’s that?”  I asked, frowning. 
                  “It always repeats itself,” she said, giving me a small smile. 

 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Six
    When Bad Things Happen
                  I was horrified when Sophia called Marco to tell him about the attack.  He hadn’t slept much and I knew he wouldn’t sleep past hearing the news.  My heart ached for him.  He could not continue going without sleep because of me. 
                  I tried to convince myself that I could be wrong.  He could have returned to bed but my fears were realized when I arrived at Aurora and Andre’s motor home and found Marco sitting on the sidestep.  Worry creased his brow as he stood and walked toward me.  He was less than two feet from me when he stopped and studied me, allowing his gaze to sweep over me before he sighed as if relieved. 
                  “You’re okay?” He asked, still studying my face carefully.
                  “I’m fine,” I said, sighing heavily.  I looked at him pained, “You really should be resting.  You didn’t get enough sleep last night because you stayed up to watch over me.  You can’t just keep staying awake.  That’s unsafe for you.”
                  His mouth lifted in that half smile and something sparked in his eyes, “You’re worried about me.”
                  I blushed before shrugging, “Yes.  I‘m worried about you.  You‘re going to make yourself sick.”
                  It was silent for a few moments as he studied me further.  His brow lifted and that half smile still rested on his face.  He blinked and then, he looked at his mother.
                  “What happened?” he asked as his eyes clouded again.
                  Sophia rolled her eyes as if the attack had simply annoyed her, “Eli tried to kidnap her in the dressing room in much the same way that Aurora was almost taken…except Lilly had locked the door.  So he had to kick it in.”
                  Marco frowned as he looked at me again.  It was obvious he was searching for injuries, “Maybe we should elope.  I think it will be safer,” he whispered almost to himself.
                  Sophia shook her head, appalled, “You are not eloping,” she said, harshly, “I will not ruin our plans because of Emilian and his family.  We will have the perfect wedding for you and Lilly regardless of what he does and we will do it on the day we originally planned.” 
                  Marco looked at me and then, closed his eyes tired, “Mom, I don’t know about waiting.  It’s too dangerous.  I don‘t want her hurt.”
                  “He did the same thing with Aurora,” Sophia said, stubbornly, “I will not let him ruin this for you…or for her,” she said pointing at me, “This day is one of the most important days of your lives.” 
                  Marco nodded as he emitted a long sigh, “Fine, but I’m
