It's not that Adam and Alanna didn't kiss and make up. (They did that several times over.) It's not that things were uncomfortable, or that they didn't go back to being ridiculously happy, because they did.

It's simply that sometimes things take a while to go back to normal.

And so Adam's smile is honest, but smaller, as he looks up at Alanna over the book he's reading (a tome on bookbinding, from the libraries at Olau, actually) and he shifts to make room for her on the sofa.
