“Might have picked something up. yea. Anyway. Donna, she was wanting to speak to you, it was Emma that convinced her not to. She might come around, just give her time.”
Daniel looks down at the bag next to him. He feels he has to explain what Steve might have heard.
“Steve, I… It’s not… like you might think… I…”
“Hey, it’s cool man.” Steve Interrupts. “I get it.”
“You do?” Daniel asks, surprised to hear him say that.
“Yea. Never really thought about it before, but I bet it’s pretty common. Make you feel safe. Like a kid again?”
“Yea. I guess so.” Daniel begins to reply.
