[Staying where she was, she just wrapped her arms around him and held him tight. She wasn't moving, wasn't going to let him leave her just yet. They'd stay here and be happy while it lasted, he'd see that he didn't need that weakling.]

I'm sorry...I just wanted to protect you.

[Letting him relax a little longer, she soon moved to put an arm under his legs and lifted him from the floor almost effortlessly. He'd stay with her tonight, he wasn't going to leave her sight.

Moving him to the bed, she tucked him in before sitting on the edge of her bed.]

Think about what I said...you can stay here. With me. You'll never feel unwanted again, I promise you...
