Malachi smiled, kissing her softly. "Thank you," he replied, hoping she meant it. He didn't want her to do something that she didn't want to no matter how much he wanted to be with her. He could wait, or at least try to, for however long it took her. And at this point, it might be him who considers waiting, but he wasn't going to admit that to her.
He smirked back. "We'll see, I guess," he said, teasingly. "Well, just make Katie watch Truth so he goes to bed for her and make Cormac watch Star so he can get annoyed or something with her."
