Despite the fact that he’d felt emboldened (by what, was still a mystery, be it the fading adrenaline from his wounds, or simply the fact that he hadn’t seen her in quite some time), Faustus felt some relief that she’d accepted his apology. The last thing he wanted was to make her feel uncomfortable. Thoroughly chastised by her second admonishment, Faustus’s grin sobered and he nodded. “I promise I will,” He said, wishing he had the strength to lean over and give her one more kiss.
He held back, and instead gave her a wink. “I’ll be extremely careful, and I’ll rest as much as I can in these next few days.” Despite the playful nature of his response, his promise was as good as law. Faustus knew he had given her a scare, and he had absolutely no desire to cause her any further worry.
