Daniel swallowed, his gaze lowering to her wrists as she turned them, the guilt and sorrow hitting him once more. He nodded slowly. Yes, it was true, at times he knew if it hadn't been for the kids being with him, he probably would've just given up.
He gaze returned to her face and his brow furrowed slightly. "..someone hurt you?" he asked, picking up on the comments about travelling alone. Not that travelling with the two children had been safe or easy, at times he felt it had made them all the more vulnerable and it was a big reason why his trust in people was shot now.
