He sinks into her embrace, his arms tightening around her more lovingly. “It is better.” He agrees softly, leaning in so he can press a kiss to her cheek, to the corner of her lips. “I just didn’t want to burden you with it.” He imagines she’d tell him if she was growing tired of it.
At least, he hopes she would.
