Adam beamed. “Hi.” And suddenly, the shop that had once been so loud and crowded, felt empty and quiet. All he saw, all he heard was the girl before him. “I missed you,” he confessed as he reached across the table to gently hold her cold little hand. It almost startled him at first, as if he’d already forgotten her amazing ability to keep cold even in the middle of summer. As it was basically tradition by now, he lifted their entwined hands to meet hers with a kiss. “How’s home?” he asked, curious. Despite having visited one of Allegra’s childhood homes during their runaway weekend, Adam still didn’t really know much about the girl’s family life.
