The dizziness she had felt before was nothing compared to how she felt now. "That's..." Her eyes slowly slid open. "That's good." Very good. It was another moment before she was able to return his smile. It wasn't exactly the reaction he had been expecting from her, but then there really was no expectation and the reaction she did offer made him smile. She was simply too precious.
Chancing moving forward, he wrapped his arms around her and drew her in for a warm hug. Even in the place he was out of his element and scared, she made him feel safe, stable. It was more than anything he could ask for, and it had been there all along.
