"I've told her that. She knows. But that's not how she works. Too strong for her own bloody good that one." He nodded at that and attempted to rub way a slight headache that had started to irritate his temples. His own friendship with Freddie had been a rocky one, but that didn't mean he didn't see how the man had made Florence and Bo happy. He'd been more than able to put that aside for their sakes, even though he was sure the man didn't care for him half the time. It wasn't his place. He wanted his best friend to be happy, and Freddie had provided that. She was afraid now, and he could see that. He hated that he couldn't fix it.
He would do anything for Florence, but there was little he could do in this situation. He couldn't demand the seal to return her husband no matter how he wanted to. "Saved my life, that woman." More than once if he was honest. "I'll protect them now." He added, his own eyes meeting hers again. He ignored his own exhaustion, but he hadn't even been able to sleep since returning from work. He'd been up more than twenty four hours already.
