+That had been before Adela, of course.
+Now she watched Champion Cyprian Say something, and Visionary Augustine's face light up with laughter in response. They looked happy. No, more than that, they looked comfortable. There was no anxiety, no worry in their body language, no concern about what other people might think.
+She felt a brush against her fingertips an looked over to see Adela holding her hand out hopefully. Smiling shyly, she took it, feeling the warmth of her girlfriend's fingers interlacing in her own.
+Things would be ok.
