Ivan isn't sure when this became something more than a casual affair, but it hasn't been one for some time now. He doesn't know when she became someone he took care of - someone whose well-being mattered beyond its consequence to him - but she had all the same. It has been a long time since anyone needed him for anything more than making travel arrangements. He doesn't know how to help her, but the incident has made him realize he wants to, and his world has been upended by that.
For now, though, he just holds her hand as long as she needs.
