I felt myself grow angry at the thought of him even touching her again. One thing was for sure.I would find out why she was so distraught.

I led her to the bedroom and then into the walk in closet.

I went and sat her bags down on the now empty portion of it. Turning I focused on her and watched as she widened her eyes with question at the empty space.
I cleared my throat.

"While you were gone I worked on clearing some space for you."

"Some space?"

she swallowed hard, narrowing her eyes at the area.

Damn, did she not like my hard work?

"You cleared out half the closet."

Her voice was still coming out shaky and light, but at least she was talking to me.

I rubbed the back of my neck with my hand.

"Well, true. I didn't know how much space you might need, so I thought half was fair."

After scanning my work once more, I looked back to her for a reaction.
Fresh tears pooled around her rare eyes and I found myself frowning again.

Not exactly the reaction I was looking for.

"You don't like it."

Y/N shook her head.

"No, it's not that." she whispered.

Grey eyes came up to look straight at my own eyes. Thankfulness and adoration seemed to be showing through those stormy orbs.
A small sob escaped her.

"It's such a lovely gift."

Relief spread through me.
Now I'm all for giving thanks and such, but what she did next threw me off.

Her small body, well small compared to mine, came flying at me as her arms went around my waist and her face buried into my chest.

A few more sobs started to emerge and I didn't know what to do.
Should I pat her back? Should I pull away or was I suppose to say something nice? Or-

"I just need to be held for a few minutes. Please."

her sweet voice came out in a soft whisper through her sobs.
Well, if I needed to know what to do, she told me.

Thankfully, I might add. Like I said, I don't really know how to be around women...

it just didn't come natural to me.

I swallowed hard and I felt like I was engulfing her with my arms as I did as she asked.

Wow.

For being small, she didn't feel like she was going to
break under my strength.

Actually... I hate to admit this... but she felt pretty good in my arms.

I felt as if I was actually protecting her, helping her.

Was this what it felt like to be a husband?

God, I was having such strange thoughts.
Yet, all I could focus on was this woman's sobs against my chest.
I even realized that she never once seemed to care how I looked as she came in, or that she was pressed against said dirty shirt.

After a few minutes her sobs started to slow down and I felt her slowly push herself away. I opened my arms and allowed her to step away from me...

It felt too soon.

Y/N's POV:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come in like a sobbing idiot and get your shirt wet."
