Alicia let the comments pass for a moment, instead just settling into him and giving herself a moment to collect herself. Here she felt safe and it allowed her to relax, just a little. "Me too," she told him softly, arms lifting to move around him as she could hold him close. She kissed him softly, pulling back after a moment to sigh. "They were gone," she told him softly and it was scary to put it into words. Gone. Simply gone. She hoped they'd done it by their own choice, left because it was safest for them and Katie.
What was going to happen to her? to Ryan? Alicia pushed aside those thoughts, she'd thought about it too much already and right then she just wanted to be with Adrian.
"What's going on? Between Katie and Graham?" She finally asked after a moment, head dipping back so she could look up at him.
