He did, there was no doubt. Laurent was probably going to end up out of the nightgown not long after Odette fell asleep and before she started dreaming if only because it felt off, but until then he was going to wear it. And wear it well. Unlike Odette he did not think about the time when they had first met. While it had been delightful to have a good friend from his homeland suddenly exist it had also brought about that thing he never wanted to think of - Rae's leaving. The changing of his world. No, unpleasant thoughts, and things had changed since then. Odette had even sired herself a man since then. Things definitely changed.
When Odette laid her cheek against his shoulder, Laurent slipped his arm around the other vampire and kissed her forehead fondly. He found himself saddened to hear that Odette was also unable to return to France. The reasoning may have been different in some ways but Laurent could understand. He could not go back because he knew the first place he needed to go was Amiens to see if that graveyard was still there and then to the place where his friends from the cavalry had been buried. "I'm sorry that you still can't go back." And he truly was. "But no, I haven't either, too many memories and ghosts that I'm not ready to deal with again." He had left France after the 'Revolution' and as far as he was aware he had not gone back since. Granted he had gaping holes in his memory during a large gap after his turning and before Spain but he was sure that he would remember being in France. "Maybe someday we'll be old enough to return. We do have quite a bit of time on our side."
