In "Cold Days", she accepts Harry's return but does not fully trust him due to his new role as Winter Knight. To that end, she has taken custody of the two Swords of the Cross that were left in Harry's care and will not tell him where they are. Nevertheless, she readily assists in his fight to defend Demonreach. She also forces him to accept the fact that they are more than friends, and that she will stand beside him and watch his back for as long as she can.
