“Sorry. I will in future. I promise.” Jack replied softly, brushing his chin against the top of her head softly. “And same goes for you… all right…?”
She nodded against him though still saying a confident, “All right” in case he didn’t feel her nod. She was content in his arms; safe and protected. He denied being able to protect her but…
“Your arms really do keep me safe and loved..” she whispered to herself, unsure if he heard her. She hadn’t taken her medication but it amazed her how he even protected her from that.
She hardly felt sore.
He didn’t hear her, not really, but that didn’t stop him from holding her. Nothing would dare to stop him from holding her at this moment.
Nothing.
