Laura relishes in being tugged closer. It's when she feels most like herself and she's relieved for it. That has to mean something, right? It's only ever felt with him. From that first moment they fucked to this exact moment she feels wanted and needed. And when the warmth of his hand is felt on her skin, it makes her lean more into him instinctively.

There's no playbook when someone tells you how they suddenly realize that things have changed in a significant way. Sweeney's admission was deserving of words, but at the moment, all Laura can do is "tell" him in physical ways.

She kisses him again, forcing his mouth open so her tongue could find his to wrap and twist into while a small hand winds its way up and around his neck.
