Abby smiled until she saw that he was getting into a serious mood. She then saw the black lines on his neck, and frowned. What on earth were those marks?? She hadn't a clue, and to be honest, it was a little frightening. What had happened to him? Did his illness do this to him? She didn't want to pry in on his health, and chose to refrain from commenting on it. Upon hearing his question, she already knew what her answer would be. She wasn't backing out of this, not when this meeting was so close. Besides, she wasn't that kind of person to just abandon someone when they're sick.<br/><br/>"I absolutely would love to have you here," she responded as she gave a soft smile, "If your illness makes you bedridden, then I'll stay and make sure you are as comfortable as possible. Just spending time with you would be more than enough for me."
