The smile partially returned to her face, and she inched closer, offering a light kiss to his cheek. Thank you, Emrik, she softly replied. She didn't voice that she absolutely hated the idea of anyone getting hurt protecting her from something that was her fault. Instead, she tried her best to take comfort in his presence and support and push the rest from her mind. I'm really glad you're here. 

The last of the tension left her face when he told her how well he was settling in. And when he brought up the children, she couldn't help but grin. She loved them so much, and she couldn't put into words how much it meant to her that he was so fond of them. Well, you've helped me so much; I really appreciate it, she beamed. They're lucky to have you, and you're so great with them. She had been prepared to raise the pups on her own, but she couldn't be happier that Emrik had stayed and helped her.
