"I missed you," he finally relented, coming close to her again.

"You too," *she said, reaching for his hand.*
"I'm glad you found me," *she admitted. If he hadn't, who knows where she'd be right now...*

He very tenderly stroked her thin, feathery hair and kissed her forehead again.

*She smiled and settled back into the pillow.*
"I'm going to try to sleep some now, 'kay?"

"Yes, of course," he said, with a ruffle of the same thin hair and another quick kiss, this time on her mouth.

*She grinned at him, albeit sleepily.*
"Love you."

"Ich liebe dich," he replied softly, with a sad smile. This smile remained on his face for a moment even after he left the room, before it faded into a look of preoccupied concern. He leaned against the door for a moment, running a hand back through his hair and leaving the blond tresses in disarray.

*Aziraphale heard the creak of the old floorboards in the hall and mounted the stairs in order to check on Herbert and the girl.*
"How is she?" *he asked, approaching Herbert with a look of sympathetic worry.*

"She's going to sleep," said Herbert. "I think I've cost us the bed for some time. I hope you can forgive me that."

*He shook his head.*
"We'll manage, I'm sure. There's the sofa downstairs."

"I'll keep you warm, I suppose," said Herbert, but without his usual flirtatious flippancy. He sounded strangely older than he usually did, and very tired.

*He noticed Herbert's tone, and it worried him.*
"Are you all right, my dear?"

"Yes, I'm fine," he said wearily, pushing himself off of the door and crossing to the angel. He put an arm around Aziraphale's shoulders and smiled at him. "I just worry for her, that's all. She's all I have, save Vati. And you."

*He nodded.*
"I know. She'll be all right, though. Is there anything I can do right now for her- or you?"

"No, I don't think so."
He sighed again.
"I'm being terribly unfair to you-"
