Haven went to where Dean was with the other convicts and she cleared her throat, making everybody's eyes turn to her. She didn't miss when Dean rolled his eyes

"Pardon the interruption, I need Mr. Ambrose." She spoke

Dean wordlessly got up and began walking to the questioning room, he sat down and watched as she followed

He folded his arms and avoided eye contact

"Dean," she began

He glanced at her before he turned away

"Dean, I'm so sorry, I don't know what Randy and dad told you, but I do know that I don't think you're a joke, in fact, I think you're a great guy, and I'm so sorry and I love your drawings." She said looking as he glanced but didn't watch her entirely

A few minutes of silence passed before she sighed and got up

"Well, I said my spiel, I'll go now." She said turning to the door

"Wait." He called, she turned and he stood up

"I'm sorry, I overreacted, its just they were making me feel you thought of me as a joke and I just wanted you to like me...I guess." He said

Haven smiled

"But Dean, I do like you, you're an awesome friend," she said to him

She missed the way his face fell when she said friend

He forced a smile and she wrapped her arms around his neck, he smiled and returned her hug, he buried his nose in her hair and smiled, relishing in the moment while it lasted.
