The embrace seemed to be eternal and it was more needed than she thought. She felt protected....calmed....relaxed. She listened to his words as he spoke. The words "burned by anger but is what pushes us to become better." She leaned back as far as his hold around her waist would allow. It was enough to look into his face. Her own face was somber when she softly replied, "Please find him. At least make sure that he's OK...wherever he is."
She then looked at the dinner table before looking back up at him, his hands still in the small of her back. "Dinner. I'm thirsty too."
