The sharp clacks of Lilly's shoes echoed, I turned around and saw her smiling in glee.
"Fufu, did you see that Dearest? I am even more amazing now!"
As I looked at the American I loved the most, I noticed something. Her body was trembling. Despite her apparent happiness she wasn't at ease. I quickly checked her link only to find traces of fear, worry and regret swirling around it.
I quickly approached her and took her into my arms.
'Lilly, are you alright?'
At my simple question Lilly's entire body flinched. Her {Kindred} link grew even more agitated. Feeling her inner turmoil, I gave her a soft kiss along with a simple reassurance.
'Dearest, it's okay. No matter what happens, we will face it together. I do not know what it is you fear, but I promise you, I will be right there beside you no matter what it is.'
"Mhmm… Okay."
