"I think.." And really wasn't it always a terribly dangerous thing when Elliot Brown started a sentence with that. It never ended well, not really. Then he smiled and looked to her, though he was still laying down beside the fire. Somehow it made it all worse. "I think that we should DO something. You're really powerful and I'm getting pretty good, and I think between the two of us we can DO something.
"Things aren't perfect. I'm not happier either." He had taken her avoidance as a way to indicate that she had been happier in her days with him, which might be where his smile came from. Maybe. "But we can do more to make things better for you." He could carry his weight more now, could do more for her. Didn't she see? Maybe that's what he wanted most now, between them, more equality, a chance to give back after hiding behind her for over a year.
