"Because I'm not afraid of my future...our future. There is no reason to be. She's seventeen with other siblings. I think we'll turn out to handle things very well." Tilting his head, he looked down at the ground a moment, licked his lips, then looked back at her. "I need to go back to London, but I want you there with me." Slowly, he reached up to touch his hand to her cheek. "She's here...so we're just going to have to get used to her." Then he brought his arms around her and hugged her tightly. He really did love her as much as he could ever love someone.
