She looked up at her husband.
“You are really going to do this.” Franz didn’t ask a question. He knew who he was talking to; he made a statement.
“Uh-huh.” Marla wrapped her arms around herself. She felt cold all of a sudden.
Franz said nothing more, but wrapped his own arms around her. She nestled in his embrace, and drew strength from him.
