L's hands shook as he set aside his journal.

He couldn't believe what he'd read. Laura had responded to him... she was coming home. Everything was going to be all right.

He hurried around, cleaning the liquor store as best he could, double-checking Laura's cooler. Though her cardigan was worse for wear, he folded it and set it on the counter, hoping that she'd wear it again. He adored using it as a pillow, but it no longer smelled like her.

It was certainly her L. Hesitant, wary, and one hundred percent human. A thousand thoughts raced through his mind. Was she happy to be back? Was she here out of duty? Would she stay with him, now, or depart shortly? His body was incapable of lying. Dramatic gestures would have been unnatural to him, as well as being distant. Those were controlled things, and control was something L lacked when it came to very strong emotions. Usually, he could keep his cool, but when feelings became bigger than he was, it was sympathy-inspiring and actually a little bit beautiful.

He shuffled, trying very hard to hide his impatience when Laura said that she didn't perceive time as he did. Yes, yes, he knew this. Her apology tempered that, though, and his frustration with their differences melted. "I was worried that you had left," he admitted. "And the last time I saw you, I was, sincerely, worried about your well-being." he didn't have the heart to say that she'd looked terrible and turned his stomach.

However, she was right about the "present" bit. She looked very good. When they'd all been healed, she must not have been overlooked. Maybe Jenny, with her double identity, had ensured that, just for him. Jenny... L's heart skipped a beat as Laura kissed him, in that cold, teasing way. Was Jenny, to him, like Gambit was to Laura? "Please don't say that. I don't deserve..." he faltered. "Laura. What are we going to do? Neither of us can read minds, but... I feel isolated from you. Even if you can find me, will you?" he swallowed. "A lot has happened, since you've been gone... the Insider is gone."
