When his hands left her shoulders, Kai leaned back against him, eyes on the fire once more. She could tell him what she'd been thinking about; as embarrassing as it may be to share that. But how would he react to it? Would he laugh about it? Find it...uncomfortable? It was hard to say. His words about calling the man went in one ear, circled her mind a couple times, and went right out the other. Just to acknowledge him, she nodded slowly. Oh what the hell.<br/><br/>"I was just thinking about my parents," she said, her voice low, almost distant. "I was thinking that....my dad would have liked you, that you've taken such good care of me the last few days and that you're willing to do whatever it takes to keep me safe. While he always pushed me to be independent, to not have to rely on anyone, he always told me to find someone who would take care of me. And my mom..." A faint smile touched her lips, bitter yet somewhat happy as she remembered her mom.<br/><br/>"My mom would have loved you. I know she would have went on and on about how handsome you are, what a great catch you are. She used to do that when I was a teenager; pointing out boys she thought would be a nice pick for a mate." Kai went quiet for a moment, thinking about her mom. There was no doubt in her mind that she would have loved Warren. "You would fall into the category of 'You and that man need to make me grandbabies, Kai.' Can't tell you how often I've heard that from her." But for some reason Kai felt her mother would have been completely serious when saying it about Warren.
