Laughing, Adam pretended to shudder at her sharp feline teeth, though he'd grown long used to Amalia's animal attributes (and her to his, for that matter: feathers and scales were not an uncommon sight on him in moments of surprise or distress). "At least I got most of them out of the floorboards. That was a hell of a job."
If Adam notices how quickly they are at the house, he doesn't comment on it, immediately sorting through a cupboard as if he had been doing for the last minute, looking for Amalia's favourite cup. He'd once had a reputation of being a callous layabout that slept with anyone but stayed with no one, but in the years since he'd learnt just how wonderful a true connection could be, how much he wanted to make her smile through something simple as a pattern on a teacup.
Finding it, he put it down on the table. "...Did you take something from my special box?" Adam asked with a laugh, but quickly grew serious again. "I think everyone feels like that sometimes, Ama. I can't think of anything you haven't done, and as far as I know this isn't a dream. I dunno, pinch me." Holding out a hand towards her as he went to grab the kettle, Adam gave Amalia one of his classic winking smirks.

So collect your courage and collect your horse
And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse
And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse
