He whispered, getly pulling her across him, uncaring of who saw them as he placed her in his lap, cradling her against his muscle for comfort, rocking her whilst he crooned and kissed the top of her ear. "You should never be frightened of me... I will<em>never</em>hurt you. I love you, Sydney." he murmured, the words brushing across he ears warmly.
