"Yeah," Molly agrees, nodding once more, though even just that is a somewhat difficult response to give. He is here now, and that counts for a hell of a lot, but just like when he'd first said it earlier, it isn't enough for her to fully believe him when he says he isn't going anywhere. Neither is the fact that she feels sick with guilt over not being able to. Nothing good would come from saying so, though, and if only for the time being, she's too unwilling to disrupt this tenuous peace to risk it. They can talk about any of that shit later. Right now, after a long night on her own and an equally long day spent mostly keeping a distance, all she wants is to stay put, curled up at Lee's side with his arm around her, the closest to alright she's felt since she found out about this. That she doesn't know if that will still be the case in the morning is all the more reason to stay put tonight.

She looks up at him for another moment, then lets her head rest on his shoulder again. "I guess there'd be no point in trying to do any of that tonight. I don't know about you, but I'm fucking exhausted."
