He was usually so strong, and now she saw him as the man he really can be and not the man he can often pretend to be.
When he pulled her closer, her arms tightened around his waist. His heartbeat was so soothing, and was helping to calm her down slightly. The sound of a heartbeat always seemed to do that do her. Gave her hope and calmness, made her see all the good things in life.
