The sex was amazing, but as with him, it wasn't the only thing she enjoyed about being with him. He had a wonderfully unique sense of humor, and a perspective on things that made her think. He was easy to be with no matter the circumstance, and she trusted him in absolutely everything. Not to mention how much she loved fighting with him, loved to be in the kitchen with him, loved their time spent reading...
She loved him.
Not in the traditional sense, not in the way she'd loved Remy. The love she felt for Todd was more than that for a close friend, but not as madly passionate as the affection she'd held for her dear swamp rat. What did hold passion was her loyalty and devotion to the wraith, which in some ways was stronger than pure romantic love that could so easily fade. She loved Todd, but she wasn't in love with him - a fine but very important distinction.
