He gave her a slight glance as they sat there in the car, sadness in his features as he tried to reconcile what had happened and the question...it was at that moment he really looked at his hand and he gave a small measured frown, as if he had not quite known the extent of the injury. Maybe he had thought the pain originated from somewhere more integral...maybe he'd contemplated it was coming from his soul. He shook his hand and brought his finger to his lips, sucking it just slightly in a way that should not be done and then he straightened his shoulders and gave that finger a pained look before giving a resigned sigh.
"No, your Mother checks over bills relentlessly. I do not feel like paying out of pocket expenses for an ER visit. I doubt I want to file this....she'll ask questions," his voice trailed off and he stared at her before speaking quietly.
"She'll ask questions, she'll want to know where you've been if you come home like this. She'll wonder what happened to you if she found out you were out....so we'll have to drop you off so you can sneak in, exactly like you were planning on doing yes?" His eyes were solemn as if he were speaking business with her and he looked out the window as he started the car, beginning to make the long drive home. He did not ask her about how she had gotten to the "dungeon" nor did he pursue how she had quite expected to get in without the alarm going off. Instead he was focused on something else, something in him seemed resigned, almost determined that he be punished and yet that is not what was said.
Instead his hand reached over and took hers, quiet and calm, and he gave her slow squeeze of...companionship, of shared experience...he stayed that way for a moment before speaking again, not making asking a question but stating a fact.
"We won't be speaking of this." He did not say whether or not he meant to others, or together. He did not reference if he expected this to just vanish in their past or if they would ever partake again. Instead he just let that moment speak for itself.
