“If I’ve got you, what else do I need?”

-Cass

When Lex returned, Cass was laying on her side, pretending not to notice.

When he struck the fire, and made it near enough to her to keep her warm, but not so close for danger, she kept pretending not to notice – in fact she took it one step further and started snoring.

If he knew, which she thought he almost certainly did, Lex made no sign of it, or of trying to disturb her, or anything else.

With those careful inactions, he did more than Max ever had, more than either of her parents, or Lyle, or anyone else.

He let her be the way she wanted, no matter how badly he wanted something different.

The entire sum of attention he gave her, outwardly anyhow, was that when he curled up by her feet to sleep with one eye open, he made sure that her meager covers – not much more than her spare clothes, were wrapped around her, that her head was resting on her canvas bag, and that the fire was warming her back.

She opened one eye just enough to look in his direction and see what he was doing. She knew he saw her, but as soon as he did, he turned away, again giving her the peace she was asking for.

In truth, she’d been trying to sleep the whole time, and between the fire and the pouch under her head, was at least as comfortable as she’d been a hundred other times in her life. But until he settled down by her feet, and she felt the slow, even, rise and fall of the side of him that was against her calf, sleep wouldn’t come.

Once he was there though? No matter how irritated she was at him being a little too much like John Wayne with his feelings, she couldn’t keep from feeling the comfort he emanated, and shrugging her shoulders against the ground, moving her body a little more against Lex’s.

With her legs crooked around his curled up form, she felt him purr softly, the way he always did when he, too, felt secure and comfortable. Maybe I’m not crazy, she thought. Maybe I do just need to give him a chance to get used to this new skin, this new... reality. It can’t be easy, it can’t be...

She drifted off as the moon was at its apex, but still low in the sky. The last thing she remembered before drifting off to dream was Lex moving his head, and draping it over the top of her thighs, the way he’d done so many times before, back in the days before she knew.

Somehow, with that one gesture, that one simple motion, Cass knew that he was trying to let himself trust her. That he was fighting against his fear, even if it wasn’t exactly what she wanted, was good enough for right then.

“Up!” he urged, with that strange twist in his speech that Lex had when he was in his lion form.
