He opts to speak to her first statement rather than the last. "I'll try. I'll try."
It's what he can offer. Of all people, Bill knows that life isn't perfect nor is it charmed. He also knows that his bride is very, very young. There are cultural differences, of course, as well as age differences.
Still, he fell in love with her and he married her and they're having a child together and those things need to be the most important things of all.
"Fleur, I love you. I'm not perfect, but I love you. I can't promise we'll never fight again, but I love you and I said I would never leave you. I didn't intend to leave you this time. I just couldn't get back." With a sorry sigh and a shake of his head, he looks into her eyes. "And I don't know why that happened and I don't know if I can leave this place now. But there's one sure way to find out."
