Her smile almost mirrored his. She knew like he did that Sue would be sorry but wouldn't stop him from leaving if he wanted, if he wanted to just live a normal life. She wouldn't begrudge any of them that, which ironically was one of the reasons they all stayed. Alicia would still have her doubts of course, she would worry about something going wrong with his ability to shift back and forth, that he would find that the double life wasn't for him. Probably many of the same worries he had with bringing her into his life.
She couldn't help but feel his excitement though. She just really hoped this worked out. He pulled her close and she had only a moment to marvel at the difference, he wasn't quite as tall, and while he was still large enough to engulf her, she noted he didn't have to be quite as careful as he did before. The kiss, was definitely different. She inhaled on it and her mouth parted under his, her hand traced his jaw, and cheek.
