I am with her. It's very hard. What he is asking is for is blind trust. That is a very scary thing to give. She has a lot of responsibility. But that pull of being each other's True Mate must be overhwelming enough to trump reason. All I think is what Reth had to say and I worry for them and their future.
I suppose you can kinda see why the years of friendship might have been necessary for her to trust him fully. She is so tightly wound and so single minded it is this hard for her to trust someone who has literally had her back nearly her whole life. And the male/female power dynamic is a hard one to work through. Curous mix here. I like it.
