"I missed you, too."
For a moment, neither of them said anything.
The words settled between them, carrying more weight than either seemed willing to acknowledge. Emily eventually released his sleeve, though her fingers lingered for a fraction of a second before falling to her side.
Xander, mercifully, chose that moment to interrupt.
"Right. Now that we've established that everyone missed everyone, can we discuss something considerably more important?"
Lucian glanced at him.
"What?"
"Where we're going to eat."
Warren sighed.
Morgan looked at Xander. "That's what you interrupted for?"
"I've been hungry for the last twenty minutes. Your emotional reunion has been a significant obstacle to my survival."
"Tragic," Morgan said.
"Deeply."
Emily shook her head, a small smile appearing on her face.
