He does his best to hide how miserable he is.

Lev has completely failed to notice any of this happening. He is buried behind an increasingly large pile of books.
He glances up and processes Raine's existence for the first time. "Raine! What are you doing here?"
"Taking some time to think. Asher convinced me."
She looks happier than Lev's seen her in more than a month.
So she will! Lev is very soft and good and warm and kissable and wow it has been a long time.
Mmmm.
(The longer Raine spends here the more sure she is that going back to her parents would be the worst decision she has ever made in her entire life.)
...they were going to go back for her.
"No," she says, and kisses him again, "no, you don't."
"I'm also hungry. I think I skipped breakfast? And lunch?" He looks at Marlo. "--Marlo, next time I fall down a research hole, can you make sure I eat?"
He bounces. "Marlo, Marlo, we should get Ron to make food and then I should tell you all about what I learned."
Does Marlo want to know about ALL THE STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED ON GAY PARENTING?
Because he is going to learn about ALL THE STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED ON GAY PARENTING.
He would love to learn about all the studies that have been conducted on gay parenting, while they eat.
