[ What he's saying doesn't make any sense to her. Not about going back to Hell, or even coming back to life but what he did. What it means.
He asked his father to protect her. The person - well, God - that he despised more than anyone else in the universe, probably. His father, who he had defended never speaking to again, who had caused him so much pain for so long, and yet, he'd done it for her. He hadn't asked for his own life to be spared - he had been willing to give in to whatever his father wanted for her.

Reaching out, she rests her hand gently over his, curling her fingers around him. She can feel her heartbeat pounding in her ears and the enormity of this sets in; the realization of what this means for her, for him, for the both of them. Chloe thought things had changed during her father's trial, but they hadn't. What is happening between them started far earlier than that. ]
