“No, it’s not,” she replied, and he would hear the lump in her throat, almost in tears due to the injustice of it all. “Why can’t they see you like I see you? You don’t deserve it.”
He looked down, a frown on his face. "It's probably because of me that it's like this... What I did.."
She shook her head adamantly. “You are good,” she said feverently. “You just made some mistakes. You don’t deserve this.”
He seemed uncertain, saying nothing for a long time. When they approached the next Inn he spoke up. "Maybe you should go in alone.."
She took them before giving him a hug, her brow furrowing. “I think you’re wonderful,” she told him quietly. “Okay?”
He watched her go, standing patiently. These people were much friendlier towards her, and she got a room with ease.
“I’m really glad you’re here,” she told him gently before laughing a little. “Or... I guess I’m glad I’m here.”
