Adam laughed as he suddenly found himself dragged into the covers by tiny, determined hands. “Oh? Are you sure?” he asked as Allegra complained, his eyebrows raising playfully. Having the girl so close again, acting this adorably, he couldn’t stop his blue eyes from sparkling with admiration. God, he’d missed her. Them. Like this, silly and a little goofy. When she asked if he would need the shirt while he was gone, the smile that had returned to his face faltered. Suddenly, his brows furrowed and his expression became comically puzzled. “What, do you think I’m going off to China or something?” he asked, half teasing. His arms traveled blindly beneath the covers, finding Allegra’s waist and pulling her closer. “I’m not literally going away, y’know…” He paused, evaluating her expression. “I still want to talk with you… I know I’ve been lousy at writing back, but you’ll still send notes, won’t you?” Ironically, now he was the one making it sound like he was leaving the country.
