Adeline had asked him this question before, and he had no response to it. He needed to figure things out.
"My heart beats faster when I'm with her," he mumbled, saying. "The thought of anyone other than me having her drives me crazy, and the imagination of someone taking her away from me angers me. I just want to be with her all the time, even if we don't speak."
"Even as she isn't saying a word to me right now, I don't mind at all. I can stand it, I can endure it, and I can take the torture and pain that comes with it. I'm just glad she's still with me and that I haven't lost her. I don't want to."
Maybe he really is in love? Nikolai tilted his head in a moment's thought. "Can I tell you something from my experience, sir?"
"Go ahead." Caesar shrugged.
Nikolai took a moment before letting out a soft breath. "Sir, when you're in love, you'll know, because...she will become everything to you. Your entire world. No, the word universe would be more fitting."
