The way she's looking at him, like she's searching for something, makes him blush. He isn't sure what she could be looking for but he stays still for the scrutiny, hoping she finds it. The kiss comes as a surprise and he's frozen for a short moment before he melts into it and places his hands on her hips, grateful for it.

He kisses her back with warmth and affection and his lips are pink when she pulls back with his face in her hands. What she's thanking him for, he he has no idea, but he ducks down until he can press their foreheads together. "You're welcome."

They stand there for a moment and then Caden kisses her again before letting her go. "Now go sit."

He leaves her near the sofa and goes into the kitchen, blowing out a breath and running his fingers through his hair. His coffee maker is all set up and he just has to press the button, and he toasts some bagels while it's brewing just in case they want to eat something. He puts everything on a tray and brings it out, setting it on the coffee table before sitting down next to April and putting an arm around her. He doesn't really know what to say so he pulls her in and rests his cheek against the top of her head, biting his lip worriedly. "When he gets back, we should take way his pickles as punishment for worrying us."
