Something was wrong. She knew this the moment he stepped off the ship. Frowning slightly, she began to walk across to him, stopping short when she saw the children. Despite the concern, she managed a smile and waved at them. As they met, what he said was confirmation enough something was wrong. Shaking her head at his apology and hugging him back, she bit her lip, worry on her face "I.... Don't be sorry. You don't need to be. Are you ok?"
As he explained what had happened she shook her head, resting her hands on his shoulders. "I.... I'm so sorry......" was all she managed for some time before seeing how upset he was and his apology for still having feelings. She shook her head again "John..... Stop..... It's ok. You two were married. Not every marriage ends in a mess. It is ok to still have those feelings there." She moved one hand, running her thumb down his cheek. "You don't need to be sorry for that...."
"Just don't ever leave me."
Hugging him, she managed another smile. "I'm not going anywhere." She hated to see him like this, and she didn't know what to do, what to say, to make the situation any better. Instead she fell silent, moving her hand to play with his hair at the nape of his neck. "If I can do anything....." She began, before falling silent again and listening to him change the topic to the operation and the Order agents. Nodding in agreeance, they had become rather barbaric. While she herself hadn't had much to do with them in her time, many stories had been told.
