  Summary

  Things have been bad long before Rickon’s mother dies, and he doesn’t expect things to get any better even after Sansa steps up to take care of him. He’s convinced she’ll give up or leave, no matter how many times Jon promises she wouldn’t.

  “But if she did - if she decides I’m too hard to take care of, would you take me?”

  “In a heartbeat,” Jon says immediately and Rickon doesn’t hide his relief. “But I won’t have to because Sansa loves you and she’s not going anywhere.”
