After setting the spells in place, Gideon sat next to her, his pajama bottoms a little loose on his hips. He slipped his hand in hers and gave it a small squeeze, biting his lip as he peered over at her. He was trying not to be sad, but it was hard not to think about how they would be leaving soon. How this might be their last night together in a long while.

"Are you... Are you alright, Marlene?" he asked quietly.

"'M fine, just-- just thinkin' that's all," she murmured, squeezing his hand in return.

"Just... when we leave. No place to hide, y'know?" Marlene whispered, feeling silly, almost embarrassed to be thinking such a thing.

Gideon blushed a little, having been thinking similar things. He squeezed her hand again and shifted closer, leaning in to kiss her shoulder. "We... We'll figure something out," he said quietly, looking up at her. "Even if we don't, we'll still see each other, won't we? Did your parents say it was okay for me to stay?"

Marlene turned her head to look up at him and nodded, kissing his shoulder in reply.

"You can stay sometime in July," she remembered to tell him, brightening considerably at the prospect of a week or so with her boyfriend.
