"I missed you too," he said softly, resting his cheek on the top of her head. He could tell this wouldn't be easy, and he didn't know how long it woudl take for it to feek okay again between them, but he wanted to at least try. He loved her. He had almost killed someone for her. He couldn't just give up on everything they had. He owed the love her had for her to put in the effort and try to make things work between them. Besides, she needed him. He'd known that all along, but he would have been no use to her straight away. He had had time to sort out his own emotions now, and he was ready to help her. He wanted his old Vic back, and he'd do whatever it took to make that happen.
