(I own only plot.)
When Trudy woke, she felt someone holding her. She looked up, her large, dark eyes meeting his. "Roland? What are you doing, dearie?"
"Looking after you, darling. Are you alright?" He replied, clinging to her. He watched her fingers, seeing them glitter a little. He smiled slightly, knowing her magic was finally showing through.
He held her hand and softly stroked her hair. She snuggled in and rested her head on his chest, closing her eyes. "If I had to rely on anyone to take care of me, I'm so glad it's you." She whispered sweetly.
Her fingers glittered bright blue and little stars shot out of the tips of her fingers. "Trudy, you're going to make the boss the happiest man alive." He whispered while she slept. He received a text message.
"I am not going to wait much longer, Roland. If you don't bring her to me, I will come and get her."
He sighed and typed "I think I have her trust now. I'll bring her in three days, tops."
Trudy murmured sleepily, snuggling in. The Boss texted him back. "I expect her here with me in three days, alive and healthy."
"You'll get her."
"Is her magic showing through?"
"Yeah, she's got her fingers glittering involuntarily."
Roland smiled at the sleeping woman. The Boss typed "Good. You have three days."
He looked at Trudy and kissed her forehead. "It's not your fault, my sweet. Boss just loves you."
He saw a bright gold glow in a circle around her head. He smiled, stroking her back gently.
