Tom laughs, raising his hand in an appeasing manner. "Don't worry about me. I'll be all right. But I needed to see you again, man. I needed to know that you'll be okay, too."
He casts me a suspicious look from the side.
"I'll be fine," Keane assures him, obviously trying to pull his attention away from me. "We will be fine."
He turns to me, casting me a warm smile.
"Won't we?"
Even from afar, his affection hugs me like a warm security blanket, soothing me. Telling me everything I need to know.
That everything will be okay.
