[She doesn't fully understand, but she trusts him. So she nods a little. Without warning, she moves forward to hug him. It's a tight, crushing hug. It's hard for her to put feelings and emotions into words, especially when she isn't sure that her feelings are wanted. But in such a short amount of time she's come to care about Frank, and she decides right then and there that she'll do anything to protect him.
He just wants to keep her safe. She can do the same thing for him.
Hugging him the way she is, it's easy to put her mouth in close enough to his ear so she can whisper to him. Love, she says in the tiniest little voice. Her heart aches at the thought of losing him, just the same as it does with Mike. She knows that means love, even if she's not fully sure what love is. It's a good, positive thing. And if Mike and his friends are right, it's things like love that will end up saving all of them.]
