Did he? He didn't quite understand how he'd gotten lucky enough to have someone like her in his life. In spite of the fact she'd loved so deeply before him. In spite of his own, admittidly ridiculous jealousy. She was with him, she loved him and he could not walk away from that. He'd been there for days already and he'd stay there until she was ready to leave. Until she was ready to admit this was real and take steps to get her life back on track.
"So lets take it that you were, that you are my second chance. That means you've saved me, in every concievable way. You made me a better man and because of that I can be there now for you. I can help you in whatever way it takes. I want you to give me just one more chance to be the man you deserve me to be."
He wasn't entirely sure what it would take to keep Rose from falling into herself. To keep her mind focused on what was real, on the people that loved her. On the life she deserved. This place, she felt safe here, he knew that, something so familiar to her. No wonder she'd hidden away here. He still wasn't used to it and still wasn't entirely sure the living ship was particularly fond of him. But she hadn't hindered him now. It seemed she care enough for Rose to see that she needed him here.
"Don't you see, You deserve to feel safe, to feel loved. And I can only imagine what hell stripped away from you but there are so many people here who want to help you recover. People who love you. Do you understand?"
He needed her to understand that. He needed to know there was a chance things would get better.
