"Shit."

"Not exactly the response I was hoping for," I replied rolling my bottom lip into my mouth as the bright smile on my features faltered.

Archie's eyes widened and he shook his head quickly, "No, no. I'm just surprised," he amended stepping out of the doorway and beckoning for me to enter.

I smiled at him and stepped inside. It had been a long time since I'd last stood in this house and the nostalgia of it all washed over me suddenly. Tears threatened to spill down my flushed cheeks and to combat them I sunk my teeth into my lip. Archie's hand on my shoulder snapped me back to reality, concern painted on his relaxed features.

I cleared my throat and pushed past him; plastering on a much too bright smile, "How's it been, without me?" I asked, sinking back into the larger than life facade I was so used to wearing.

The corners of his mouth lifted ever so slightly, relief flickering across his face before his eyes met mine, "Boring."

I nodded in reply, "Figures."
