Raven rolled his eyes, but didn't bother Frei about it. Instead he took her to find a bathing suit.

Nic seemed mostly consumed with his work. Every now and then he'd pull himself out of it for awhile, but the longer he wasn't working the more guilty he seemed to feel. He didn't discuss anything about it with Laurel - maybe because he didn't want to or maybe because she didn't ask. But he let Laurel try to figure out how to be comfortable around him on her own. He was extremely patient with the babying and the passive aggression. After a few days he started giving her small suggestions and/or compliments every now and then to help her along. Such as feeling free to ask questions, saying what snacks of hers he had liked best, and thanking her for checking on him every now and then.
