The best thing with Frank is that she's easily able to gather meaning from the things he doesn't say. That's exceptionally true now, and she smiles at his admission. It's the sleepy sort of smile that doesn't last long, but he can't even see it so it doesn't matter. Hearing that he thinks she's stronger than he is is quite the compliment, but she knows it means more than just that. It creates a warmth inside her that makes her stomach tingle and flip, and threatens to keep her awake.

"As long as you keep coming back..."

Unable to finish that thought, she let it die off and let silence start to lapse between them. She doesn't need to try and figure out something to say, he won't mind that she doesn't have anything. He never minds when she doesn't have something to say. So often looks and little touches are more than enough to speak for the both of them, and tonight is no different. She no longer questions why her safety means so much to him, and doesn't need to be afraid that he'll forget about her. She's become the center of so much for him, and she knows that it takes so little now to pull him back into her orbit.
