Life had brought them to Russia,- she wanted to go back to the Winter Palace, look at it with new eyes; after all, last time she had been there she didn't know it had once been her home.
Anya didn't realise have much she wanted it before she said it out loud; I want to visit my family's grave,- Dmitri looked at her silently, searching her eyes for something, before nodding; Sure, I'll take you tomorrow.
She would never have been able to do this alone, without Dmitri; his presence was grounding her and his warm hand kept her from falling apart; he just held her and let her say goodbye.
