[She's been guarding him ever since Kovacs told her what Kirigan had done. The thought of someone else trying to kill Newt fills her with dread. And so she sits by his bed, refusing to leave. She even sleeps in the chair at his bedside, which is exactly what she's doing when he wakes.
It's the rising sound of the heart meter that wakes her, and she gives a startled jump as she looks around. Her eyes fall on Newt, and she sees that he's awake. His words are heard but not necessarily processed, not until she's moving out of the chair and almost quite literally crawling into the bed with him to embrace him in the tightest hug she's ever given.
She's resting on her knees on the bed, her small frame easily able to tuck beside him. Curling over him protectively, she tries to will all of that doubt from his voice with the sheer force of her love and affection for him.]
Don't worry. [She's finally able to speak, voice heavy with emotion.] I'm never letting you out of my sight again.
[Which probably sounds more like a threat than a sweet promise. But he'll forgive her attempt at humor, since this is the first time she's genuinely laughed since returning to the station.]
