" 'Tis late, and you have a long day of travel ahead of you. Might I ask for your company this night? We shall be apart for days, a small time really, but I crave your presence all the more. So you may sleep by my side, and kiss me awake before you depart." She gave him an honestly innocent look, as really all she wanted was to have him with her to comfort her that he would not leave without saying goodbye. Having him close was important to her.
