Hannah yawned as she went through customs. She had long ago applied for global entry so that her travel would be easier. It had actually been Christian's idea once he was playing in Germany.

She was walking towards where she would catch an Uber. Hannah texted Hunter to let him know she had landed safe. He promised to send her videos of Chris Stapleton's set. He also wished her luck on setting Gio straight.

Hannah smirked a little and ran her hand over her ballet pink dress. It had tank straps but also fell down to her elbows in a cape like fashion. She paired her outfit with white stilettos and a pink and white Kate Spade clutch. Hannah took the large pink clip out of her hair. Her long hair cascaded down around her shoulders.

"Hannah?"

Her head shot up. She looked up and smiled softly when she saw Christian. She pushed her sunglasses on to the top of her head. She walked over towards him, pulling her carry on with her.

"Hey," she said, stopping a foot in front of him.

"What are you doing here?"

"Visiting Stell and Gio. You?"

"Same. They're going to visit Max in Bremen tomorrow. Thought I'd tag along."

She nodded, "oh nice."

"Mhm. Is your fiancé with you?"

"No, Hunter's back in California at Stagecoach."

"You didn't go?"

"I left early," she shrugged.

"Gotcha. Do you want to ride with me to G's?"

"Sure," she nodded.

"Great. My town car should be here soon."

"Thanks."

"Of course. You look great."

"Oh thank you," she smiled, "you look nice too."

"Thanks. Do G and Stell know you're coming?"

"Nope. I wanted it to be a surprise."

"That's nice of you."

Hannah nodded. It was clear that Christian was none the wiser of the chaos that would unfold. She wanted to keep it that way. There was no need to get him upset sooner than necessary.

"Mr. Pulisic?"

"Yes, that's me."

"I didn't see on the itinerary that you would have a guest?"

"Forgot to update it, but yes I do," Christian shrugged.

A chauffeur opened the door. Hannah went to grab her suitcase and bag. Christian gently pushed her hand away. She tilted her head. He gestured for her to get in. She nodded and got into the black SUV.

It was just a minute until Christian got in next to her. She looked down at her hands. She folded her hands and looked down at her ring. It still felt heavy on her finger.

"How are you?" Christian asked.

"Good, thank you. And you?"

"Good. I'm glad to see you. I know the last time we saw each other wasn't quite ideal."

"No, it wasn't. I'm so sorry for Hunter. He promised me he wouldn't start shit, and well," she sighed and leaned her head in her hand on her door.

"Tensions were running high for sure. I don't want to make things more difficult for you. I'm so sorry," he laid his hand on her leg.
