"We did," he confirms. Ronan's been on and off his phone since then, for which Declan is generally grateful. People care about Ronan and they should know that he's more or less in one piece. All Declan wants is to keep him that. way. He returns Apollo's smile with one of his own: mild, banal.
"Are you." It isn't a question. Apollo is very clearly here for something and he might have asked to come in by now if he intended to stay.

For a few breaths it seems like Declan will leave it at that, but then he moves out of the way and holds the door open.
"Well, he's here. Come in." He turns his head and calls, "Ronan, visitor!"
