The question was out of Hermione's mouth before she could stop herself from speaking the words. It reeked of desperation. She didn't want to actually encourage her husband to believe that she couldn't bear to be apart from him when he left. Yes, she'd admitted that she was no longer entertaining running away alone, but that didn't mean she wanted to give him false hope. Their marriage was improving every day, little by little. That still didn't mean what Antonin wanted it to mean. After years of her brain and emotions being manipulated by potions and spells, she wasn't ready to make any serious decisions about what kind of future they might have together.
