Really, there were so many different things running through her mind currently about what had gone wrong. Had this been too soon for Myka? Had she not been ready for this step? Or was there something deeper going on? Or was it truly only due to the nightmare she'd had? The younger woman rather been on emotional overdrive. Briefly, Helena wondered if she should ask about the nightmare, but it might not be the best time to do so. Instead, as Myka rolled over, buried her face in her neck and started to cry, Helena held her lover close to her, rubbing her back soothingly. She remained silent, simply letting her lover get her emotions out. The younger woman wasn't always so free with her emotions, and Helena wanted her to release them, hoping that after Myka would be able to tell her what was wrong so she could help make things better.
Though when her lover finally did say what was wrong, Helena had not expected that to be the issue. There were many other things she would've guessed before that. It was irrational because Helena would never leave Myka. "Of course I won't leave you, love. Why would you think that? I love you. You are the one I've spent my entire life waiting for. Why would I leave you now when I just got you? You are also the one I would die to protect, that I have died to protect. I have all the reason in the world to stay and no reason at all to leave." Her voice was both gentle yet firm, conveying her love and belief that she would never leave the younger woman. Not when she finally had the chance to love her. Not when she finally had the chance to be happy.
