[Adam smiles back at him, adoring and touched.]

See, it's lines like that which remind me why I'm so hopelessly in love with you.

[Happy, Adam studies his eyes, soothed by Ronan's love. It's easier to trust himself to Ronan when Ronan's being like this, and Adam feels calmer.]

Thank you for talking with me. And for listening to me. It's really nice to feel... heard.

[Adam's used to internalizing everything because he's never had a real confidante. It feels like a luxury to talk and be heard.]
