"A couple times?" Allegra repeated, turning to evaluate Adam with her relentless silver gaze as amusement flooded her features. She didn't need to do much pressing, however, as in the next moment Geoff and Bridgette began their calculations to reveal the truth and Adam's face flushed a light pink color. Five months. And he'd mentioned her throughout all of it? Her skepticism faded, now replaced with a quiet flattery as she took his hand into her own and pulled him closer through the small distance that separated them.

Allegra's teasing expression melted into one of pure adoration, beaming as she leaned up onto her toes and placed an affectionate kiss on Adam's cheek. For just a fleeting instant, she managed to reinstate their own little world, creating a momentary bubble for the two of them as she murmured a barely audible, "Aw, Sunshine..." to his ear with a smile. In a second, the bubble was gone, and Allegra turned back to their company with a sheepish smile.

"Well, mostly good things, I hope."
