He draws in a deep breath and leads the way up to the front door, palming his key and letting them both inside when he gets there. It feels almost strange to do it, like he should still be knocking or ringing the bell to let June know he's back. Except for her, he was never gone.
"June?" He takes Norton's hand as soon as they're safely over the threshold and the door is closed behind them. "June, are you home?"
"Upstairs, dear," she calls, her voice slightly muffled by the distance.
Neal gives Norton's hand a squeeze. "Mind if I bring a guest up to introduce him?"
"Oh! Hang on, let me make myself presentable for company."
