"Thanks, I don't think I'll need anything," Alicia said, allowing herself to be led to the front door.  Of course she would need some essentials from her home eventually such as clothes, but that was the least of her concerns.

Alicia liked the soft touch on her back much more than the other personal touches.  It made her feel comfortable.  The touch wasn't so intimate as it was friendly and Alicia always appreciated that regardless of her affection towards Juliette.  "It must be great living here, huh?"
