She curled into his side ' there getting worse' she said
He winced at the news and gently began to rub her back soothingly. ”I’m sorry, angel.”
" What if Alec comes back and tries something' she asked
Lysander's eyes flashed red and his hands warmed briefly at his name. ”If he does, I’ll make him pay for everything he’s done to you.” he promised with a small growl.
" what if your not here and he…touches mec
”I’ll practice a little closer to the house and only once a week… for the bigger stuff.” he compromised. ”I can practice the little stuff by the lake.”
" thank you" she mumbled
He nodded and held her close. ”Does he know about this place?”
" i don't know" she said
”Alright.” he nodded. ”Well, even if he does find it, this is your place. You own it, so he can't come in unless you invite him.” he reminded her.
she nodded ¨it still scares me¨ she said.
”I know.” he said gently.
she burried herself into his chest
He held her comfortingly. "I'm here, darling. I'll protect you." he assured, rubbing comforting circles against her back.
She smiled at him
He returned the smile sweetly and kissed her forehead.
She smiled
"I love you." he told her gently.
- I love you too*
He relaxed at her response and let himself lean against the back of the couch, still holding her. "Is there any way I can make it up to you for last night?" he asked.
She shook her head no
He sighed and nodded softly in understanding. "I'm sorry."
she sighed ¨You can go practice¨ she said
He nodded a little, knowing it was the smarter thing to do, and reluctantly let go of her. ”I’ll be back in an hour.” he promised gently.
¨that´s what you said last night¨ she mubled.
He winced a little at the reminder but didn't defend himself. ”I know.” he sighed. ”I… If you don't want me to, I don't have to go today.” he offered.
¨No. . .just go¨ she said standing uo
He sighed in disappointment but nodded as he stood up. ”I’m sorry.” he said again before walking towards the door.
¨wait…¨ she said.
He stopped and slowly turned to look at her, a small bit of hope in his eyes.
