His lips fixed in a line, not wanting to let her have what she'd asked for but also not wanting to challenge his exhausted mate. Chris huffed out a short sigh, swallowing the words of disagreement that had been bubbling up in his throat.

It seemed like as good idea as any to him, only understanding that he had a strong drive to protect Brenna and her family and ensure their comfort through an already-stressful time.
