The way he loves to protect her peace over everything. I was very impressed with Artle because as much as I do wish he would have never told her and rejected the offer without question, I'm glad that he didn't, because that's the man he is, and I'm so glad that she is married to a man like him. She must get stronger for herself, and she must hold her own, so I'm happy he was open and honest with her by validating her pain and struggle while giving her comfort and safety to voice her opinions and fears.
