' alice. im not going anywhere. . ' cheeks flared up in a fierce blush from a unknown feeling that he couldn't really understand himself but it wasn't a bad one, just that it annoyed him on how he couldn't work it out. ' something tells me you aren't gonna let me go anytime soon ? ' a hand rested over hers and he was thankful she had cuddled up to him from behind so she didn't see his blush.

what he claims doesn’t matter. of course, he wouldn’t be able to leave anyhow, what with her arms wound around him and her head pressed against his back. for over a year, she had been without the comfort of her closest friends. yes, she made new ones in emma, ray, gilda, don, among many others, but they would never fill the void that sean and mae’s absence created ( just like how her presence could never fill norman’s place for them ).
the tension of her body eases upon his touch. a quiet sigh escapes her, and her heart pounds a little lighter. he’s here, and he won’t disappear, not like before. he and mae won’t be leaving her side again -- she won’t let it happen.
❝ mm-mmm, ❞ alice verbalizes, cheek pressed between his shoulder blades. ❝ you’ll just have to sleep like this. you don’t mind, right? ❞
