Keefe felt every emotion Sophie went through during the meeting with Ruy, and it broke his heart. When they leaped back to Havenfield he went after her when she went to her room. He knew that she was struggling, and he had to wonder how much she actually went through in those two years, that she hadn't told anyone. Her door was closed, so he knocked gently,
"Come in." he heard her say. He opened the door slowly and entered. She was sitting on the floor by her bed.
"Hey, Foster..." he said gently sitting in front of her. She tilted her head for a second before patting the ground next to her. He scooted over and leaned against her bed. Her emotions were really intense. He cautiously picked up her hand, he flipped it over palm up and began tracing random designs on it.
"Thanks, Keefe" She murmured leaning her head against his shoulder.
"Your welcome, Foster," he said grinning. He felt her start to relax,
"Keefe?" she said.
"hmm..." he responded tracing a penguin in her hand.
"Do you think I actually said "I do" to him?" she asked. So that's what she was worried about.
"Honestly, Sophie, no I don't think you did, I think he simply told the priest for you that you did. Why?" he said drawing a puppy.
"He insists I did...What if I said it in my sleep." She said her emotions increasing again.
"Then only dream Sophie is married to him, he has no control over you now, Foster," he said tracing strawberries.
"Keefe...There are things that happened, bad things he erased. They haunt my dreams." she said
"Do you want to talk about them or me to just be here for you to lean on?" he asked.
"Maybe later talk...For now, just you being here calms my thoughts," she said
Keefe smiled and continued tracing things on her hand, he felt her breathing slow and she relaxed, falling asleep. He kept tracing and Edaline came in. He put a finger to his lips motioning that Sophie had fallen asleep. She nodded.
"You can stay the night if you want, I'll make sure Grady doesn't bother you guys," she whispered closing the door when he nodded. Keefe intertwined his fingers with Sophies. She might be healing but she was letting him in, and he was happy she was trusting him. He leaned his head gently on hers falling asleep.
