[Alex had assumed that he'd definitely had make up sex with Coralee. After all, the two of them were married for thirteen years, and had been seeing one another before that so of course there were make up sex and grief sex and every other kind of sex you can imagine. Alex doesn't mind that, because it's the past. Hell, she definitely has. Which was the reason why she called him a liar.
But then Alex's cheeks just go scarlet, then her ears, then her chest before she just buries her face into his chest. Because well... one doesn't expect your significant other to actually read conversations like the one she'd had with Jeff. And because sometimes Alex can be a girl worried about the boy she loves hating her.
[Well that was a satisfying reaction. One he expected since it was often her reaction to his knowing things she didn't want him to see. It didn't make it any less enjoyable. In fact, he very readily laughs at her embarrassment.]
[There was a lot that she could have if he wasn't in her life. Not the least of which was a normal life without demonology and cults and disappearing wives. She could be fake ghost hunting and be thinking it was real instead of dealing with things like Simon Reese.]
[If he ever asked if she would rather have a normal life or this, Alex's answer would be immediate and it would be simple and without a doubt: she'd rather have this. Hands down.
So she just laughs as she kisses him back.]
Says the man who got entangled with an insufferable reporter who wouldn't leave him alone.
Oh yeah, definitely. She's entirely too annoyingly persistent for her own good. And yours too, I suppose.
[She knows that she went to Chicago and dragged him back, and reached out with the case with Simon, but he's also come back too. In some ways, the two of them are just on a rubber band that they keep stretching out onto to be drawn back together.]
[Alex sounds fairly confident about that, considering everything. But she doesn't think that the two of them would have been able to walk away for long.]
Hey, I would say I can be pretty accommodating in some things, Richard. Just not in the ones you'd prefer me to be in.
[Like that whole not telling anyone about stuff thing. And that not believing in demons thing. And the not being annoying thing. But those are all things that make Alex Alex so there's that.
And she nods before she counters:]
Or there's pizza. Pizza never hurt anyone, and we can get it cheese for Stan.

Shall we go home, my love?
