Even since the loss of her mother, things haven't been easy. All the responsibility now weighted on her shoulders. She had to make sure her mother's death wouldn't go in vail. She wanted to make her mother proud, to accomplish the dreams she couldn't. She had to.
The fact that she betrayed Ambessa to save you didn't make it any better, but she couldn't lose you as well. You were all she had left. Her reason to wake up every morning. Her happiness. Her other half.
She kept safe in her heart every moment spent with you. Every kiss, every hug, every cuddle, every walk, every talk. Everything. She trusted you more than she trusted herself. Without you, she was sure she would have lost it a long time ago.
After a long day of working, she was finally in bed with you in her arms, cuddled up against her chest. She inhaled your scent, desperate to feel, smell and taste you.
"I missed you..." She murmured, her voice muffled in your hair. She placed gentle kisses all over your head while rubbing your back.
She could finally lay down and relax with the person she loved most. She feels all her worries and stress float away whenever she holds you in her arms. You just have this effect on her and she fucking loves every second of it.
