Hideaway Strath I want to do all the things your lungs do so well

Her words had surprised him it seemed, which baffled her. Did he not know what he meant to her? Maybe it wasn't as obvious to him as it was to her. 

She felt his arms around her and willingly let him pull her tightly against him; she loved the feeling of it. She was completely surrounded by his warmth and scent, and she was content to just stay that way forever. His words made her smile and nuzzle deeper into his fur. She was happy to hear that he at least knew she would protect him if she had to. She looked up at him from where she was pressed against him. Are you aware of just how much I love you? she asked, the question more serious than playful. She really wanted to know and to quickly quiet any lingering doubts he might have. Her love for him consumed her—it influenced every decision she made. It overwhelmed her and instilled a fear of what life would be like without Ky or her love for him.
