The day was finally over.

Rex was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking through the window, Bree caught his attention when she emerged from the dresser. Their eyes met and he smiled tenderly at her, she smiled back, sadly. Then, she sat down beside him. Rex saw the worried expression on his wife's face.

"Everything is gonna be fine, Bree..." He tried to soothe her as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, allowing her to rest her head on his chest.

"He'll hate me forever..." Bre said simply as Rex rubbed her arm gently.

"No, Bree, he doesn't hate you. He's just... upset." He started, pulling her closer.

"And he got what he deserved, he was out of control. God, Bree... How dare him threat you the way he did? I got so mad at him..." Rex said, raising his voice lightly.

Bree said nothing, she just took a deep breath, remembering the fact. He let go of her and took her head between his hands, making her face him.

"Everything is gonna be fine, ok?" Rex assured again and Bree nodded.

He smiled and planted a light kiss on her lips, then, he rose, going towards the window, closing the curtains. Bree watched as she smiled lightly and layed down, pulling the covers against her body as she sighned relieved, closing her eyes. He climbed on the bed carefully, slipping under the covers, beside her and Bree automatically leaned against him, resting her head on his chest. Rex wrapped his arms around her and gently stroked her hair. She felt protected, and he felt happy. They both know that when they wake up in the morning, their problems wouldn't disappeared, but they know that they'd go through them, together.
