"I'll keep that in mind." Sometimes it was still strange to him that it was working with Carrie. Whenever he'd has a relationship last this long before, it ended in some horrible way. The first time, Kory... well, a lot happened in a row. And then with Barbara it had been more a consequence of both of them being someone that the other wasn't quite expecting.
But he and Carrie had been through a lot. Hell on Earth and loss and fear and tragedy. Arguments, fights, near death experiences. And it all still worked somehow. "I was a little bit afraid.... When things like this happen, I always expect something worse to follow. And I automatically thought of losing you." He sighed. "I know you love me. Just... keep remembering that, okay?"
