250 Shelter of the wolf

Music Recommendation: One step at a time- Alexandre Desplat

—

On reaching Woodlock, the carriage in which Noah and Eve were riding entered the gates of the Sullivans' mansion before the vehicle came to a halt. 

Noah turned to look at Eve, noticing her stare at the empty seat in front of her, something she had been doing since they had left Thresk Hills. Though he hadn't pressed her for what happened, he was still curious to know who had hurt her. It seemed like he met her after she passed through a difficult time, where he could not help her, and he knew there was only a little he could do about it because of his circumstances. 

He couldn't recklessly put her under everyone's eyes and his inability to help made him clench his jaw.

But Noah's heart craved to be there for her. After all, she was the only woman he had loved. Even if it meant it was from afar. He tried to protect her in his own way.
