"It's all right now. You're safe. As long as you're with me, you'll always be safe," Raphael whispered reassuring words to me over and over again.
I had no idea how long I was wrapped up in this arms like a helpless child, but slowly I did start to feel better. His reassuring words made me feel safe and the dark memories began to recede. Slowly, Raphael let me go and held my shoulders so that he could get a good look at my face.
"You're safe now," he repeated slowly.
