She doesn't cry...maybe she should be worried that her eyes don't even get misty but she's through crying over that part of her life. She's safe now. No man will ever touch her again without her approval or he will be missing limbs...if he remains breathing at all. She lets Len hold her, their foreheads touching, relaxed, drawing strength from each other. She doesn't know what to say because "It's okay" is not appropriate. It's not okay, none of it is, but she understands things now. She knows Len did what he could...knows he tried his hardest. She doesn't blame him for any of it nor does she think he could have done anything better or differently. It is..simply what it is. Shitty. But they survived.

"Love you," he mumbles quietly against her skin as he presses a kiss to her forehead before pulling away. She's more than welcome to follow, cling, curl against him, whatever she may want or need just then. But there's really nothing left to say, so he doesn't say anything else at all, rather he just stares at the tv, not really seeing what's there, just at a loss of where else to go from here.

Lisa follows, she doesn't want him to pull away and she doesn't want to lose the contact. Len is warm...comfortable. They don't do this often but if he's going to allow it shes going to do it. She wraps her arms around his waist and buries her head in his chest, curling up beside him. "I love you too." She replies, slightly muffled by his shirt. She doesn't know what to say or do either...what is there to say or do when you each find out for 100% certainty that the other was hurt like that...when you know without a doubt that you've both survived an absolutely horrible situation...

She's going to sit here beside him like this for as long as he allows...and maybe...she might even fight for longer if she thinks she needs it. Nothing can hurt her with him there, nothing at all can get to her with him beside her keeping her safe.
