Kaya simply took the woman's hand to her cheek, closing her eyes. "You could tell me what you did, and what would likely happen is I would be bothered andd look at you differently. The truth is, I know you would beat yourself up about what happens in your life more than anything. So I won't ask: instead, I'm just going to give you a warning: you aren't getting rid of me easily. I don't care what happens, or what things Marco says to me: I care about you."

She smiled. "And in case you were wondering: its ok to be weak in front of me. Im not always strong all the time either."
