Delphine
Noah was truly a mountain, immovable, steady. As he pulled her to him, she listened to his words, just taking the silence to listen to his heart, to feel his arms around her.
She was safer than she had ever been, and this man's only real claim to power was his ability to put up with her. "I'm sorry," she whispered, eventually. "I'm sorry for... listening to my anxiety, and doubting you." He wanted to love her.
Not because of her magic, or a title, or what she could do for him. And as she reminded herself of this, she calmed, even more, closing her eyes. She was tired. "I can't wait to go home, I miss our bed," she mumbled. The bed in their dorm was hard and small, but they made it work.
After a moment of silence, she inquired quietly, "Wanna head to bed?" If he didn't, she'd just lay in bed and wait for him. After all, she slept best when he was next to her. He couldn't disappear from her life like a dream if he slept beside her. That's what she told herself, anyway.

Let me make you smile, darling.
