...I like this one too.
Something inside her never wants to fall in love. She will love people, love them to the best of her ability, but part of her is closed off like a fenced in garden, visible but inaccessible.
Maybe it's something left over from the Yamani, but Yuki loves Neal fiercely, putting up with all of his peccadilloes and peculiarities, and Kel sees it in the way Shinko looks at Roald (to say nothing of the way he looks back at her).
Something that scares her: Dom loves her like that. He has ever since she was seventeen or eighteen. Neal told her while they were riding to his wedding that Dom was thinking of how he could follow her to Scanra no matter what, charges of treason or no.
She's very, very thankful for Lord Raoul's foresight and wisdom at that moment.
Eventually Kel thinks she might be able to love him like he loves her, but that one part of her that kept her from giving up, that keeps her independent, that part of her doesn't want to.
She wonders when she's going to have to tell Dom that she's sorry.
