When he moved into her touch, Alex just leaned forward and rested her forehead against his own for a moment with her eyes closed. She'd missed him, honestly, and she missed this, and she was just going to let it comfort her and hope that it was comforting him in return as she did it. Maybe that was one good thing about not talking about their fight, or at least not talking about their fight directly: it meant that they could just jump to the whole comfort thing, which was infinitely more important than the make up sex that he'd made fun of her about before.
Perhaps surprisingly, there was no sharp intake of breath when he mentioned Coralee, and Alex didn't move away from him or even open her eyes at that. Instead, she just spoke softly. "I wouldn't have done that. Especially not right then." Because the two of them had already been fighting about what she'd deemed as 'her big mouth' to Jeff. "I just told him that we'd had a huge fight, the biggest one we've ever had maybe, and that it was about me not keeping my big mouth shut but other than that... I just figured it was probably best if I let you tell him whatever it was that you wanted to about it. "
Because Alex was still under the impression that's what the fight was about: her telling people about the past. Which was why she did pull back just slightly and opened her eyes to watch him before she added, "Rey won't be contacting you again. I made certain of it."
