[ It's those four words that have Valeria tensing. 'I think he's right.' He's right about what? Leaving? Dying? She's more than ready to start shaking her head again, but then, Roxy keeps going and the things she says, the words that come out of her mouth makes the blood in Valeria's veins run cold. He's not the only one? She turns widening eyes to look at the woman.
Oh no. No, no, no, no, no. Her stomach twists violently with suspicion, her heart thundering in her ears. 'Don't,' she wants to say, but the word doesn't come. Roxanne's do and what she says, what she's saying is... it's too much. She can't even kid herself this time, can't write it off as a cruel joke because Roxanne, she doesn't play like that. Her hesitation, her tone, it's...
Gods, she's going to lose them. She's going to lose both of them. If they disappear, they'll be gone and she won't be able to get them back and she can't, she won't accept that because she loves --

'Home,' that precious four letter word like 'love' that she doesn't dare use lightly because when you do and you lose them, everything changes. Nothing is ever the same and -- and she imagines the same could be said for someone who has died. Nothing will ever be the same for them either and Roxanne... ]
You can't leave.
[ Her voice is quiet to start, but it scarcely remains so as she wraps her arms around the other woman and hugs her tightly, so tightly. She can scarcely see for the tears in her eyes, but she can feel her and she's not letting go. ]
You can't leave, do you hear me? I mean it, Roxy. You can't. I... I won't let you.
