Drake's voice entered her mind as she sat there.<br/>'Yes, you still smell of me, as I you.  A shower won't get rid of that.  What's on your mind Sylvia?  I would like you to speak with me on this.  I know you're having thoughts about what Cassy said and I want you to know, she'll not harm you for fear of what I would do if she were to try.'<br/><br/>His mind stopped communicating with hers as he walked into the room.  Sitting on the bed with her he took her hand in his and ran his thumb over her skin.<br/>"I won't let her hurt you, you have my word on that."
