"How... nice." * * * He flushed, shaking his head as they got to their car. "I really love you too, Cal."
"Yes. Much better," he replied, grabbing pajamas and pulling them on. "Let's lay down." *** "I guess.."
Val flopped down next to him, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye. "How's your head?" * * * "Tired?"
She kissed his forehead before rolling on her back and looking up at the ceiling. "Good." * * * "Sleep on the way," he suggested. "It might take a while."
"I love you. " *** She rested her head against the window, shutting her eyes. He would be able to notice a cut across her temple.
She smiled brightly at him, taking his hand. "I love you too, sweet boy." * * * He frowned but stayed quiet, increasing the speed of the car slightly.
Her hands rubbed his back slowly before she sighed and closed her eyes, kissing his cheek lightly. * * * The hotel door creaked open as Arlo brought Callie in, Nugget strutting in by his feet.
She chuckled lowly, her fingers slipping into his hair, brushing past his bandage. A small frown flickered across her face and she sighed, opening her eyes to glance at him. "I'm glad you're here." * * * His eyes flickered down to her and he kissed her forehead before setting her down on the couch gently. "Hey, Cal."
