Reynard kept her close to him. “It’s not gone,” he whispered.
“How can you be so sure?” she wept. “I can’t feel it anymore, I can’t feel you.”
“Because I can still feel our connection.” He soothed her by rubbing her back. “I can feel your connection with me, and I can feel a connection with Brendan, too. If I can still feel him, then that means you both are still connected.”
Suki pulled back from the hug a little, still in his grasp, and wiped away her tears. “Really?”
He nodded. “Once this substance is out of your system, you’ll be back to normal, and you’ll feel our bond again. And even if we did lose our bonds, it doesn’t mean you’ll lose us. Don’t worry, babe.”
Offering a weak smile, Suki spoke quietly, “Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For being you.” She placed a hand on his cheek.
