"hy was there blood? #he shouldn$t have to remember her ownblood, right? %amn, her head hurt lie hell and she felt lie she wasforgetting something important, something said to her.

    #omewhere next to her bed, &arie was sitting on a chair, totallyuncomfortable and concerned. !gain, she had to thin of why her dear friend

    was so tense, that it looed as if she were to 'ump out of her sin at anymoment. (ooing behind her, she saw !lesandr standing in a corner, handscrosses over his chest. )e had a bloody bandage on his upper left arm andbruises on his left chec? It became clear to her that the wound on his armwas caused by a gunshot, but neither that nor the car accident explained thebruises, or &arie$s uneasiness, for that matter.

    That was when she glanced on the other side of her bed, opposite to&arie and it all became clear, despite the room not standing completely still.Under sily dar hair, behind long, blac lashes * that she would have illedto have * were the most beautiful blue eyes she ever saw. #he had beentaught that it was wrong to call a man beautiful, because they wereconsidered handsome, but if beauty had a face, it would have been his.#itting on a chair close to her, in all his beauty and glory, sat +ladimira'arov, sometimes nown as beshenaya sobaa-, the rabid dog.Unfortunately for many, it was a well*gained nicname. !ll pain in her bodydisappeared at the sight of that beautiful smile of his.
