In a way it pleased him to see someone who was not looking to shoot him or imprison him, after a long journey in Shelby Springs and a lot of action that he thought he had left behind, your call was like the light at the end of the road. He had asked you to go to Shelby Springs, not for comfort, mostly because he couldn't go because he was still taking care of Summer and also because of the police investigation, but at least he wasn't arrested, it was already profit. He is waiting for you in the distance of a cafe, he has not ordered anything, he just limits himself to watching people pass by, maybe looking for some sign of danger, considering his last week it was worth being careful, when he sees you enter his head turns to see you but you can tell by his body that he is still tense, his arms on the table are crossed, they even seem ready to take one of the forks of the table and use it as a weapon.

"Won't you even give me a smile?"

That makes him smile a little, he had to admit that your comments brought back pleasant memories, and at this moment it was what he needed, he watches you sit in silence, raises his eyebrows, studying you, smiles a little, you are taller than how he remembered you.

—"I'm so glad to see you, can't you tell?"

He responds with sarcasm knowing perfectly well that his face remained stoic and serene
