Marron shrugged. Unobtrusively, his free hand found Malvir’s and squeezed it gently. “She will. It’s going to be fine, now; it’s going to be just like we used to talk about. No worries, no wars. Just this life, now. Together.”
A slow wind brushed past the open window, and Malvir managed a soft smile. “I love you.”
“I know it.”
The girl slept on.
