Snuggled

Leo lets out a wail and he throws up his arms, almost spilling the drinks as they reach Cassy's door. "Why the rum?!"

Sighing deeply, he gives Cassy a silly grin and shakes his head. He really did act like an idiot sometimes. But at least she thought it was funny.

Once inside, they're able to settle down in the living room in front of the television to start the movie and eat supper. Leo assumes one end of the couch, giving Cassy the other end, and digs into his food, finally satisfying his stomach. He's a little on edge at first, just as little unsure how to act in her apartment, just the two of them. He knew this was nothing, but it was a bit awkward for a while.

The movie seems to break the ice though and soon Leo has laughs a little bit, finding Cassy's own laughter contagious. Even though he'd started out wanting to go home, halfway through the movie, he's more relaxed. By the time only a half hour is left of the adventure, Leo is curled up and snuggled with a throw pillow in his arms, his head resting on the armrest so he could still see the television, his feet tucked somewhere between the cushions in the middle of the couch.


"Yay!" Kip takes Karla's hands and does a little dance. "She's coming, she's coming," he sings, his eyes twinkling. "Woo, an adventure for all of us!" He stops moving around, breathing heavily from his excitement. Then he laughs, a little sheepishly. "Sorry." His silly grin remains. "I'm just glad you're coming."


"I love you, too," Kyle whispers back. His free hand moves to cradle the side of Alice's face, his thumb running over her cheek. "One week... one week to pack up and go back home."

It was different for him and her than for the others. For the others, they were going to a new place with unfamiliar surroundings. For Kyle and Alice, they were going home.

His smile widens and he leans over to give her just a soft kiss on the cheek while in front of the others. He'd thought a lot about returning to Nevada and still hadn't made up his mind just quite how he was going to do it. "Don't tell anybody yet, okay? I think I wanna surprise my family."
