Love mends even the broken parts
Running a hand through his hair, Loren dropped it so he could scratch behind Astra's ears. Swallowing, he looked up at Maea. "And what do you see?" His voice came out barely above a whisper, and there was something almost afraid about his tone. He did let out a huff of laughter at her comment about eating more, and nodded in acknowledgement.
As she crouched before him, and held out a hand, he looked at her palm. His eyes were drawn back to her face as she spoke, though he didn't respond right away. "I do." It came out just as quietly as his words before, so he reached up to lay his hand on hers.
