He put his hand on the back of her head as she leaned into his chest all the while thinking, I wonder what she's been through to make her say that?

He held his wand with one hand, and hugged her waist protectively with the other as he scanned the room, looking for signs of movement. Well, I wasn't put into MLE for nothing, was I?
