He nodded in reply with emotion rolling behind a tempestuous dark sea in the pools of his eyes. She would be alright. She would live enough for them both. "I do...apologize for hurting you. Had I known it was you they were after I would not have been so quick to take the offer. But once it was done...they had to think you dead. It gives us...time."
It was easier to talk of business. Anything else was confused and muddled in his mind. Still, he knelt before the couch so that he could comfort her while her wound healed even though there was some rigidity in the movements. She knew the truth of his heart now. And he wasn't even sure that it mattered.
He pulled a blanket over her and rose to sit next to her. "Rest now. We are safe here for a while."
