[She's seen him be so gruff and rude to others. And he can be gruff with her, but beneath that there's this side of him that makes her take pause. He's so gentle with her where it counts, and she feels her cheeks turn a light shade of pink as he kisses at her hand.
Apparently he gets more romantic and smooth with age.
Her fingers that are laced through his give a reassuring squeeze. She's here, she's alive, she's fine. She's perfectly safe with him here.]
Think I should be the one thanking you. For keeping watch over me, after all this time.
[They're still joined at the hand, but she leans in and rises up on her tiptoes to press a kiss to his cheek.]
