It's a fifty fifty, that he remembered something, briefly and that led to him needing to know she's okay — no answer to the question, just moving over to pull her close.

The weight seemed to go from his shoulders the moment he had her in his arms, felt hers around him. “I'm sorry..” he mumbled, kept her close all the while; a gentle squeeze of his arms.

Things with security had been running smoothly, and for once they had more than enough hands on deck in case of issues. Of course he is only a call away should something occur. A small smile, was he that easy to read..? “You psychoanalyzing me, love?” it's in a teasing tone.

Not win, love; we compromised. ( he's smiling softly. ) I'll wear whatever you want me to, overalls and all.

His eyes closed, for a moment; before his gaze meets hers, melted there beneath her touch. Few deep breaths. “I'm just, I'm a mess.. a paranoid mess..” he whispered, sorry for causing worry, for the sudden, panic.

“Yeah? Think I'd suit em?” he smiles, a soft chuckle of his own. “you can pull any outfit off.. no doubt about that.” Just the apartment block, he'd argue they're the cutest family in the world; though he may be bias.

Hey, darling. It isn't too much?

Is he pressing a soft kiss to her lips? Yes. “I don't know, looks I can do but.. selling myself as some business man? not so much.” Nonsense, he's always handled himself well in past meetings like this one.

“Head of security, is simple, straightforward.. the vipers pit of funding..” a sigh, but he smiles. he'd face the snakes for her any day. “Be lost without you.”

“I know..” a soft hum, hands at her sides within seconds, looking into her eyes. “You know there's only two reasons I do all of this, you and my job.” the events, fundraising; dealing with the funding demands when she cannot. It's all for her. “I love you, y'know that right?”

“That so?” A soft sleepy smile, a gentle squeeze of his arms before he's leaning in, soft kiss pressed to her lips. “that better?”
