"Babe" Noah says before I can even turn around
"What." I say. I wasn't in the mood for his shit.
"I'm sorry" he says
"....I know" I say. "I'm sorry too"
"I shouldn't have gotten mad at you like that, it's like I forgot the time we had before that moment" he says

"It's what I don't see that matters most... and I don't see a lot" he says
"What..." I say

"Just like old times" he says
"...Wow-" I say

"I thought Lauren said no one would ever know it was you?" Noah says
"They have a source that knows who you are, who we all are" Sam says
"I'm gonna kill her" I say
