McAllister decided Aria's question was probably rhetorical, so he just smiled and the two settled into a companionable quiet. He glanced over in her direction more than once, deciding if he wanted to make a show of laying near whichever bed she chose later that night, or if he would do it quietly without any directness. Either way, he wanted to stay close to her throughout the night.
Thinking that made him feel clingy, but he had to admit he wasn't as solitary a person as the man he had become in recent months. He liked being around others. He knew he liked being around her.
