[More and more and more, Caleb thinks he knows what's waiting for him in the letter he still holds onto. Not the exact contents, of course, but the reason for its being at least. His chest tightens a little as he thinks about that reality and it's a pain entirely his own. Nothing to do with the way Amelia clings to him and cries into his chest.
But it's a pain he can confront later. The woman crowded up against him is more important by far.
The dogs crowd in around them but Caleb doesn't move to acknowledge them either. He's not...all that good with dogs anyway. And he still doesn't want to let go of Amelia.]
I'll stay for as long as you'd like.
[Even long enough to get himself into trouble, maybe.]
