"I can't imagine what it was like," Annie replied softly, moving her hands away only because she had to deal with her stupid pants. But at least she'd remembered them early! And Diego's had been dispatched hours ago! And she was going to try to keep kissing him while she got these off, as best she could. "I don't know what I'd do if I lost you for that long."

And considering he hadn't known what had happened to her, or to Five, and he still hadn't found his other siblings when he'd ended up here -- Annie's heart kind of broke for how Diego must have felt in those first few days. And it made her just want to try to make up for her absence by being extra clingy, now. (But in a gentle way.)
