You hold back. She's been trough a lot. Hell you both have. You hug her a little tighter. Her head push harder against your breast and for the first time you notice how small she is. You can't help but shiver at the thought of what they may have done to her. Maybe it was the tenderness of the hug or maybe it was the just having someone close but every thing inside of you makes you want to protect her. To keep her safe. You look around and the last thing you feel about this place would be safety.
"We have to get out of here. We have to find some place safer." You say to her holding her chin.

"That's a good point but I would still love to have a few more with us if we could." You say. "I need to think."
You stand up pacing the room. Then you sit down on the make shift bed. She looks over at you smiling and says "Do you mind if I hug you some more while you think?"
