It isn't that Adam's bored. In their household, there is no bored any more.

It's more that he's-


okay. yes. he's bored. Without the writhing and squirming and squealing of small children, with nobody to hold or walk or look after-

he's bored.

Adam smiles once more, and it's something like relief. For Alanna, if nothing else.

"Suppose we ought to be getting you away from here soon, though."

"Yeah," says Thom. "Before the seasons change, please."

And they both wait for Alanna to open the door.
