"The only reason he's not in a cave somewhere dead," she starts out snarling but his words are sinking in, confusing her, mixing her up inside, and her tone flattens out, softens, "Is because I didn't knife him in the kidneys when I had a chance."
Her hand slides into Declan's hair and she pauses, just breathing. It's not something she needs, him getting all up on anyone who threatens or hurts her, but it feels good that he wants to. It feels...she feels...like it's okay to let him take care of her, because he can.
What could've gone ten rounds just stops with a softly offered, "I'm sorry, babe. I didn't... I'm just not used to people needing me home unbroken. Home and surviving was good enough."
