Lilly had improved over the last week, but without warning, bouts of terror would consume her. More and more she looked to Rafe for comfort. Thankfully, she felt comfortable with him. He’d spent time with Lilly each day, just a few minutes at first, then longer as time went by. Hannah had no idea what they talked about, but the fact that Lilly was talking was a wonderful thing. That was something Hannah discovered working with the girls who’d been raped. They needed to talk. It made their adjustment much faster and easier. Lilly was asleep now. At first she huddled in the corner, but when the carriage hit a bump that jarred them all, Rafe pulled her against him and held her close. Lilly didn’t fight him or move away from him. That should have surprised Hannah, but it didn’t. Rafe had a gift. He had a way with people, especially those who were hurting. He could comfort them like no one she’d ever seen. Rafe, however, was a concern to her. He’d improved since he’d been attacked, but he wasn’t completely recovered.
