( That he is here still takes her breath away; real and warm beneath her hands when she thought such a thing would be impossible. There is nothing she can do to repay this to their hosts, and Jill prays they never ask her to.
Jill had sworn not let the sun see her tears; she would cry in the night when she could hide them, where no one would know the agony in her heart. But the sun here is not the same one that shone over the Twins, and there is only Clive. So her own tears slide down her cheeks as she kisses him again. )
Never. ( She swears against his lips, holding him tightly to her. ) Whatever they might want from us, whatever we face here — we do together. No more leaving me behind, Clive. Not again.
( She let him once because she knew there was nothing she could do to aid them. But now? Now she is finding a new way to fight, a new way to aid him as best she can. )
