Leonard nodded, glad that Katie was going to be able to see her family again. He knew how much they meant to her and she meant to them, especially since she had been so worried about them thinking that she was dead. He just hoped that everything went okay.
Sometimes, he worried about the fact that he was so attached to her and didn't want to leave her to deal with this alone if he could help it. He didn't know what this would do to either of them in long run, but for the moment, he needed to be there for her. He didn't want to lose her to the nightmares, memories and emotions of what had been inflicted on her. He didn't know what he'd do if he did.
So when she started worrying about him leaving her, he pulled her closer, holding her tight. "I don't know what they're gonna decide," he said softly. "But I'm not gonna leave you if I can help it. Right now, you need me, and that's all that I can about. If I have to, I'll request leave."
