She noticed Gunnar’s momentary pause, and in truth, it gave her great comfort. The choice she made would be hers and this kept her at ease with him.

The words were so close even she might mistake them — and yet there seemed a sense of reassurance in his promise of no-strings-attached that seemed fitting for nothing below the rank at his side.
