Staying quiet, Kai listened to him as he spoke, taking everything into consideration. Four wars, a medic in two of them. Lord only knew what that poor man had seen, what he'd had to do... But it was no wonder he had been so calm when he'd been injured out in the snow and even when he took her wounds earlier. But still. She wanted more than anything to tell him that he shouldn't have to worry about others and that maybe...maybe it was time he let someone worry about him...let someone hurt for him. He deserved it, deserved someone to take care of him for a change.<br/><br/>But before she could find the words, he was next to her, holding her hand and speaking once more. When he started talking about how he felt, how he was glad to have met her, to have her around. His words made her blush. But then he said something that she hadn't been expecting in the least.<br/><br/>Eyes wide, cheeks burning crimson, she stared at him. Had he just said that....that he loved her? Holy shit. Her heart raced behind her rib cage, a knot forming in her throat. The last time she heard those words was from her parents. Kai looked down quickly, hoping he hadn't caught the tear that fell.<br/><br/>"How can you be so sure?" she asked, her voice cracking.
