[If he didn't love her, her arms around him wouldn't feel so right. Neil was sure of that. He was worried about Sam, yes, but he was worried about Mere too, and she was the one he'd come for. He was here for her. To take her home. He tried not to hug her too tightly, just in case she was still woozy from the painkillers or, maybe, if there were bruises he couldn't see, and he was reluctant to let her pull back when she did.]
