He had to wonder what it was that made people want to hug him all of a sudden. Still it felt sort of good, and it didn't hurt that Ronan was fucking huge which gave him a moment to compose his face before Ronan pulled back. "I'll let Ben do the hoping. I'm settling for getting ready."
He nodded as Ronan spoke, pleased that for now, the three of them were together. "Do they have somewhere to stay otherwise? I can't imagine them wanting to go back to the house. Can they even afford to keep it?"
