Although it was tough to bear the sight of Elsa in tears, Brendan was immensely relieved when she decided to stay. He knew that she needed some rest and care right now, not heated debate, as he'd bullheadedly tried to push on her. He shimmied onto the edge of the couch, and gently slid himself under Elsa's head, laying it down on his thigh, and pulling it in against his stomach. He leaned over and kissed the side of her forehead, before reaching up and taking a thin blanket that had been draped over the top of the couch. He spread it over them, and tucked the edges under Elsa, leaving just her head peeking out.
"You know, you're gorgeous, Elsa," he murmured, stroking his hands through her hair. "What did I do to get to be curled up on my couch with such a gorgeous babe?" He ran his hands over the blanket, rubbing Elsa gently through it. "Let's such stay here all day and do nothing, okay?" he suggested, as he craned his neck down again and kissed Elsa's cheek, detecting a salty taste from her dried tears.
