"[i]If[/i] you get found out, [i]if[/i] the worst happens, it will not matter how much blame I get. Rhazii, you, and I are staying alive and staying together." He rested his hands on her sides.

If you're stepping into something...potentially bigger than the both of us like this again, at least let me know enough that I can be there to help you." He took a hesitant breath. "I know I've...not been a perfect husband, but I'm still your husband. We still look out for each other."
