At that response, Ambrose just held her tightly for a few moments, hoping that his sniffling wasn't that obvious from over her shoulder.
He breathed in her scent and closed his eyes. And, for just a moment, he was almost home again. Home where things were normal.. and safe. But like many good things, the illusion didn't last long at all. His heightened sense of smell quickly argued the scene with the faint odor of sea air, the stir of the air conditioning on his fur... and the thumping of his tail against the bed that, while mirroring his happiness, managed to screw it up all at the same time.
Finally, leaning back, he gave her a slightly more comfortable smile. It was really her, after all. "I... kept our photograph." He said randomly, gesturing to the framed portrait on the bedside. "I... I really didn't think I'd ever see you again. Since.... my most recent change... I knew that as much as I had deceived myself before hand that there was hope, that I was never going home again. And... well... I never in a thousand years imagined they'd bring you here..." Emelyn was on his mind... and he hoped, that somehow carefully.. he could segue into it gently. Then.... she would know what needed to be known! And ... things could be okay....
... Except for Emelyn.. Ambrose was amassing a frustrating amount of guilt. He did care about her. There was no question about that. But he knew he LOVED Angelina, and it wasn't a matter of choice to his mind. It's just... he didnt' want to hurt Emelyn, either.... but .... was there any way to tell her what he needed to tell her without hurting her?
