It was now Talion's turn to blush a little. He was not accustomed to a young lady defending his behavior in such a way. His mind briefly flashed back to his own marriage. His union with her had been relatively brief and certainly ended tragically, but they had been extremely happy for that short time.

He could feel the emotional turmoil within her and knew that it was simply a wave that she had to ride through to the end, but not alone.
