For a brief moment Zoe flinched before hugging him back, and had to actually remind herself that he wasn't Cai, that no one else was Cai, and she wouldn't be plunged into a horrible vision if she hugged him. She hadn't touched Cai for the rest of the night, though she'd hadn't wanted to be very far from him either, and they'd stayed out very late. They found an all-night Chinese place and ate dim sum, drinking green tea and not talking very much, till Cai said if he didn't get to a bed soon he was going to fall asleep behind the wheel and that was the last thing either of them needed.
"I can sort of drive," Zoe said. "Not legally, but Liz has been teaching me."
"Um, Dom would kill me if I let you and something happened, i think," Cai apologised. "Not that I don't trust you - I trust you epically, but, just in case. I am awake enough right now, maybe we grab a coffee on the way to your house."
Zoe nodded, but she wanted to say I don't want to go to my house. She wanted to stay. Not sleep in his bed... or maybe she did? She wasn't sure. No, she probably didn't want that.
She didn't say anything, and he'd driven her home, and they'd sat in front of her house for a long time, just looking at it, till she said "Well..." and he said "Yeah..."
She hadn't slept very well in her own bed. Maybe it would have been better if she'd stayed at his house. On the couch. Just watching TV all night, like they night they'd spend together at Zoe's, up late, making rescue plans.
So she flinched when Danny hugged her, but only for a moment, and after that she hugged him back just as tightly. "No kidding. This isn't going to be awesome."
