He loves her too, and as much as she knows it, he loves her even more than that. There's only been one other woman in his life -- his whole life -- he would've done anything like this for, and despite the fact that hiding like this really sucks, he'll do it.
He'll do it just to be with her. His hand is the last thing to disappear beneath the safety of the cloak; it rests against her cheekbone as long as he can before another snap of twig and the sound of hushed voices proves that Beth's instincts were absolutely right. They pushed time as long and as far as they could and hell, if that's what they get, he'll take it. If he's learned one thing the past few years, it's that time's more precious than almost anything and whatever he gets with her really ought to be cherished.
He does. It's what keeps him going, keeps him from thinking too far into the future to things like so if and when we find Hero's brother, what happens to me and Beth and Junior?

One thing at a time.
