[To her way of thinking, she is not contradicting him, because she doesn't think that he's lied to her about what he's said. His waking hours seem occupied by simple, quiet things. There is peace and quiet here, which is no doubt good for him and his wolf.

But she does also think that there are things he is leaving unsaid, or lightly implied. She pursues this not because she wishes to cause problems, but because it's her hope to reassure, or at the very least address it.]

I feel a very strong connection to you. I don't see that feeling fading quickly or easily. [It feels like a stronger confession than the one she gave the night before, but if he's said not to ignore the elephants in the room then she won't.] What I'm asking is if you were not just answering my question, but also trying to set my expectations in advance. With the likelihood that what is between us will continue over time. [Her hand draws down from his cheek to his shoulder, leaning into his touches still.] What I'm wondering is if you are already worried that I'll become restless with your quieter, more isolated lifestyle. Am I wrong? Am I reading too much into your words?
