"Wynonna. You could have anyone you want. It doesn't bother me none." Okay, fine, it bothers him a little, but he's good at not showing it. He would be a hypocrite if he tried to control her emotions, her attractions. And she would be a hypocrite too if she was going to take issue with his... whoring.
It was the least he could have done for Wyatt, is what he would have said not that long ago. Doc narrows his eyes and tears his gaze away from her before breathing out a sigh and making eye contact again. "I can't protect you from the kinds of things that get us here. I want to, but." Doc shrugs.
"I know you never asked for it. But I'm going to try, anyway. And I hope that you'll let me." It means she has to listen to him sometimes. He knows that's not easy for her. "I hope that you trust me."
