It was so warm; so Alice. It set the illusion a little more into reality - if it even was an illusion. For just the moment, he wasn't thinking about any of the risks -- the potential dangers. She always did manage to lower his guard, didn't she?
Feeling her in his arms... It was enough to lower it even more. The feeling drew him in even more, filling him with every desire to never let go, ever again. She was there... She was alive... And he was determined to keep her that way, no matter what he had to do. It was his turn to protect her life, ensuring it was never threatened. Nobody would take his woman away, without having to literally go through him first...
Briefly, his hold firmed as he quietly drew in her scent, familiarizing himself with her warmth all over again. One hand lifted to briefly rest on her head as he pulled away. Unbidden, came the flash of memory of-...the train. He had to work to keep his expression steady as he shook his head, "Nah, I'm just fine!"
He was forcing himself to sound as casual as possible, doing everything to keep his voice from being unsteady. Funny how it was anything but that, considering how it sounded to him, "What about you, though? You, uh... feeling okay?"
nope. here to stay, baby! <3
