His arms were around her sides, and he pulled her close for as long as it took for her to hug him back before he relaxed, and didn't let go until she did, his hand absently touching the tops of her knuckles on her right hand as his dark eyes moved to scan her face, brows knitting together once she started to speak.
His mouth broke out into a smile when she said that, "Well, I'm home." He said lamely, laughing at how stupid he thought he sounded. "I found out you were here, I meant to call you earlier, but I crashed on the couch..." He said loud enough so she could hear him above the sounds of others, though as far as he was concerned, it was only he and her.
