She was not sure if she could forget it all, but when she focused on his eyes and the touch of his hand, the world suddenly fell away.  And then it was just them.  And they had a decision to make.<br/><br/>"You won't lose me again."  She said softly, moving toward him until she too knelt with him, and her arms went around his neck to embrace him.  Roxie allowed herself to breath in deeply, to soak in both his scent and the way it mixed with the clean smell of rain outside.  Her body was pressed tightly against his and for the first time since her parents died, Roxie felt safe.  She was as feirce as any wolf in her pack, but this was more than just protection.  This was a future, a way forward through the darkness that was closing in on them.<br/><br/>"I promise, I'm not going anywhere."  She again stated.  She did not directly answer his question, but she figured she probably did not need to say the words.  What she wanted was clear.
