"No, I'm fine, I'm fine," Jenny says, laughing more because he does than anything else, though it was amusing already, not so bad that she can't see the humor in it. She likes hearing him sound like this, though, lighter than she thinks most people get a chance to witness. His seriousness is something she enjoys, too, but this feels like something all her own, not unfamiliar but to be held on to even so. "Took me by surprise, is all. I should have thought before I had some."
