[ She doesn't pull away from his touch even if she totally caught that slight jab about the polyamory thing. She isn't a fan of what he's projecting onto her right now.]

My parents... My childhood wasn't anywhere close to yours, Adam. I don't blame you for doing those things, for feeling the way you do but I don't want to forget my life back home, I'm lucky enough to have good memories and yeah, maybe it wasn't perfect and my mom has her issues but... [ Her hand moves to cover his.]

I have no idea what it was like for you, I've only seen glimpses but nothing like that ever happened to me. [ It's not bragging or trying to show she's better off than him, not at all. It's her trying to reassure him that her reaction to her own childhood would not be anything close to his, it didn't need to be.

He was abused, abhorrently abused.] So you don't need to worry about me or push me to be different than I am. I like who I am for the most part.

I'll do better. [He understands better, now, about what happened and why, and the reasons he got the wrong impression of the situation.]

I'm sorry to have upset your Thanksgiving. I know it was important to you.

[ Gently, she tugs at his hand so she can bring it to her mouth, pressing a kiss to the top of it.] It's okay, Adam. And I'm sorry if I upset you.

You didn't upset me. I upset me. You just happened to be in the blast radius.

I'll try to keep that in mind. [ And she hopes it won't happen again.]

[It will.

Adam shifts a little closer, resting his head on her shoulder and playing idly with her hands.]
