For a few moments, being in his arms made Victoire cry even harder. She was an idiot.. a complete and utter fool. She knew he probably thought she was just frightened over tonight's situation, but that was the very least of what she was crying over. Because it had suddenly dawned on her that there was no good reason to keep being stubborn about their relationship. It was ridiculous. But now she was faced with the difficult task of actually articulating why she was upset.
"I'm not worried about my safety," she told him after a little bit. She stayed curled up against his side but pulled her head back so she could look at him. This would be so much easier if he could just read her mind. She wasn't good at things like this.
