((Ah, so sorry I didn't respond to this thread! I think I just glazed over it and didn't realize.))
"Still bad enough," Christian frowned. "Do you suppose we'll ever be entirely rid of him? What if we left the city?"

She pressed her lips together in a thin line as she pushed a dresser in front of the doorway. It was better than leaving it open like that.
"I think we'd throw him off for a little while, but I have a bad feeling that eventually he'd find us again."

Christian stared at the result of her efforts and couldn't stop himself from bursting into laughter. There were still considerable gaps between the edges of the dresser and the door frame; he doubted it would really keep anyone out, just provide a momentary inconvenience for any unwitting individual.
"I'm--I'm sorry--" he stuttered, as he tried to compose himself.

She blinked at him a moment, then glanced from him to the doorway. One corner of her mouth twitched, and she couldn't help herself--she started to laugh, too.
"Ohhh, it's terrible, isn't it? I should hang up a sheet." She said between chuckles.

"Oh no, it's not bad at all--very picturesque," he managed to wheeze. "I like the minimalist aspect of it. Oh, leave the sheet. It's fine like this, too."
He got up from the bed to embrace Anastasia.

She sank into his arms with a sigh.
"Maybe we could go somewhere. At least we'd have some kind of peace for a few days."

"Yes...that's a wonderful idea!" he responded, nearly stumbling over in excitement, as Anastasia's suggestion registered its full import in his mind. "Don't you see? We could get away from here, from him! We could steal time! We could be heroes...just for one day. AND IIIIIIIII WILL ALWAYS LOOOOOOOVE YOUUUUUUU!"

(( xD ))
"Yes!" She laughed.
"Just...fly away from here."
She suddenly straightened up.
"Oh! I've never been to Spain, or England, America, Brazil..." She pouted, then laughed. "Too many places."

"Oh, England's not as great as people make it out to be," he returned, features darkening a bit.
Christian spoke from prior knowledge but Anastasia wouldn't know that; and he wasn't quite sure he wanted to divulge details of his past and put a damper on her spirits just then. He changed the subject.
"But America! America sounds promising. TO THE LAND OF FREEDOM!"

((US would be perfect since all the Anastasia legends have her running there xD))
"Oh, well, it doesn't have to be England," she said, frowning a bit at his tone. There was a lot hiding behind those words, she could tell, but now was not the time to question him.
"America sounds wonderful! I think we've enough to make it there, so going should be all right."

"By all means, then. Let us go!" he laughed, already beginning to pack away their few possessions into a small bag he'd brought along with them.

Her eyes widened a moment.
"Just like that?" She said, with a small chuckle.

"Just like that," he nodded, crossing the length of the room in a few strides to cup his beloved's face in his hands. "We'll be safe now. I promise you that. No madman can possibly get between us, no matter what he does."

She grabbed his hands, giving them a squeeze.
"I hope so."
In the back of her mind was the nagging thought that, even if the Russians forgot about her, she'd still be forever looking over her shoulder.

"All right, then," he chuckled and turned back to packing. "Give me a hand, will you?"
