Watching Magnus, he wondered if he'd done something wrong. Maybe she didn't want to be touched. After the things Sebastian had probably done to her, it wouldn't surprise him if she didn't.
Alec was about to pull away when she nodded and he stayed where he was, holding her carefully and gently playing with her hair. "I'm okay because of you." Guilt shadowed his eyes, but he didn't look away no matter how much he might want to. "Thank you for helping me."
As her eyes closed again, Alec held her close, unable to ignore his guilt. "I'm sorry. It's my fault he did those things to you." It was his fault but he didn't know how he could make that up to her.
