No promises

"No promises," she says when they are alone, "I might get a better offer, after all."

But he just smiles, his arms tight around her. "I highly doubt that," he returns confidently, "for none could love you more than I, my lady."

And she has to admit, if only privately, that he is probably right on both counts. But she likes to keep him on his talons so she just smiles coyly and pushes him away, slipping quickly around the bulk of the Ark.

She knows he'll come after her. It's what brought them here, together, in the first place.
