"The light show especially was impressive," Marcus says with a fond smile as Sabrina brings a chair over to sit with him. He reaches over, curling his hand over her shoulder and letting it rest there against her shoulder blade, warm and settled.

"Thank you," he says. "For the lights. For the talk with Dan, of course. For everything."

For being here with him, for living in their home, for giving him something he never thought he could have. Part of what he's just said is teasing and his smile says as much, but so much more of it is genuine.
