Then again she had been a sweet, kind, pretty thing and he was sure any guy would love to have her to hold and protect.

It makes me feel a bit better. Like i didn't completely lose em cause they're out there somewhere" he said this hoarsely, like he was a bit torn up about it. Which he was.

Everyone....they just left and I knew they were alive but after all this death I never...well..I never really assume anything anymore" he whispered and took a step back, ducking his head awkwardly. "Are you here to stay?" he asked hopefully.
