"Four down is Korfball, by the way." She gives him a small smile and perches on the arm of the sofa he's sitting on.
"Hey," He feels his spirits lifted instantly by her presence.
"Hey,"
"Thanks for that." He grins, gesturing at his crossword.
"It's all good."
"Look Lily, I'm sorry."
"It was my fault, Kingston." They'd had a lot of small arguments before, but last night was their first full on fight. Lily might have ripped up his dance top with her bear hands. He might have destroyed a photo of them together and torn Lily out of it. She doesn't want to cry. She doesn't want him to think she's seeking pity. But she can't stop the water welling inside her eyes.
"Oh, don't cry." He gently slides her next to him on the sofa and puts his arm around her.
"I'm so embarrassed." He takes off his jacket and puts it over his arm and her. He knows she doesn't want anyone to see her looking vunerable. She curls into him more.
"Thank you."
