If Julianna was ferocious energy burning itself out, Owen was a controlled explosion waiting to detonate. Dormant, still, and collected. She moved away to pace the floor like an aggressive cat. He remained planted and firm with resolute arms across his chest. He would not be moved. His assessment of the situation would not subject to any change or revision, especially under the influence of the demon he so hated on his normally docile wife.
He only moved to grab Julianna by the arm to hold her still for his counterpoint. “I trained you in the chance that if you were caught up in a dangerous situation you could handle it; but I did not do it to put you into one. Or to turn you into some kind of weapon. As you are now you are a danger to yourself and to me. You are not a risk I am capable of mitigating.”
He released her to return to her pacing and waited in patient silence while she deliberated. When Julianna turned back to him, she was herself again with tears in green eyes. He let his arms fall to his side in a relaxation of muscles and mental tension and wrapped her easily in an embrace. He was relieved he wouldn’t have to continue the battle of wills.
“I will be fine, Julianna.” He promised. His hand cradled the back of her head, holding her against his chest. “I will be back before the sun rises in the morning. We’ll have breakfast like any other day and we’ll deal with the fallout later.”
He kissed the crown of her head and let his hand relax.
“Let me call Kent to come sit with you.”
Without releasing her, Owen dialed his friend to give a brief description of the situation. Kent could be heard worrying about and apologizing for the situation they found themselves in. He assured Owen that he would come take care of Julianna and Cain through the night.
