When Alicia hesitated just a moment, her hands hovering just over his chest, Adrian couldn't help but notice how closely they were standing. There were moments like this, every once and a while, that he'd think back on in the evening and wonder. Had she noticed it, too? Had she thought that he could just lean forward and casually kiss her - quickly, fun - just like she'd greeted him as 'babe' this morning? But then she moved again and the moment was gone. He smiled at her, "thanks."
Isla yipped in excitement when Alicia declared them ready to go and squirmed in her seat, anxious, and so he set off quickly, not a full stop hard burn of course, but quickly to go from standing to soaring for Isla, at least. He kept them about twenty feet from the ground for a bit, waiting for Alicia and Liam to get going as well, and to give Liam a chance to see them doing lazy circles above his head.
