He did have companions come and leave often. He was used to it, tried to make the idea seem routine in his mind, even though each and every change always hurt, always affected him. Grace and Bernie and Fitz and...all of them. When they arrived, it changed him. When they left, it changed him.
"Still," he added, "I'm very glad it was you."
It was probably far from the right time for another intimate gesture, but he was never very good at doing the right thing at the right time. He leaned forward, and pressed a kiss next to her mouth. As chaste as possible (she was Reinette, after all), and as softly as possible (he was still rather uncoordinated).
