Stone Circle she keeps it simple

Day made some kind of sound in the affirmative - of course they're adorable - but he was distracted by Adeline settling down beside him. He guessed he'd expected it to feel strange or different, but there wasn't really much to it. This was Adeline, and mostly, he was just intensely grateful that she was here at all.

"I was so worried about you," he said sleepily, giving the girl a lick on the cheek, and then administering one each to his children as well. "And I missed you so bad."

Here in the den, he wasn't angry anymore. Not even that she hadn't said goodbye.
