Hayley tightened her grip on him in mirror to his clinging. It was a moment some part of her never wanted to give up, and that thought by itself made her want to stop right then. She didn't miss that inner turmoil, but it was always worth being with him.

She reached up a little to smack him lightly in the back of the head before finally loosening her grip and withdrawing halfway. Her hands slid from around his back to rest on the front of his chest instead as she looked up at him. A stray thought told her to kiss him right then, forever associating he and Bart. She quickly dismissed it and gave a smirk instead.

"You abandon me for weeks and you're worried about your money? I'm hurt, Kon." More teasing. It was how they communicated.
