[ They'd only had to have the conversation about it once, and she hadn't necessarily expected him to fight her on it, but she hadn't anticipated that he'd agree so quickly; instead, she'd made it plain that she wasn't about to give up the Earp name and he'd accepted it without any attempts to convince her otherwise. The irony is that it's a name she always tried to downplay for her own sake, not wanting any of the baggage that came with it, and eventually she'd inherited all of it anyway whether she wanted it or not. Now, though, she's got the power of her family behind her just like he does, and she thinks he can understand that.
The truth is she thinks he can understand a lot about her, much more than he'd let on at first, and they have futures to fight for, both of them together; it might take even less time to get back what they're both missing out on, the sacrifices they're making by keeping their daughters far away from danger, now that they've aligned with each other. She hadn't been doing it alone before, but she's not going to say no to more help here.
She still remembers the first time he'd surprised her, revealing himself to be more than a man, and she's left somewhat breathless by both the strength and speed he exhibits as he plucks her up off her feet and zooms them both up the main staircase and down the hall, walking through the doorway into her room. Reflexively, she's thrown her arms around his neck even though she knows he's not about to drop her, eyes wide and expression half-breathless as her equilibrium finally rights itself. ] Holy shit, warn a girl before you do something like that. [ She's still breathing a little harder as she looks at him, and while he's still got her in his arms she's going to veer in and kiss him decisively, cupping his face between her hands. ] Can't have a wedding without a wedding night, huh?
