"Ugh" I say as I enter the apartment and shut the door
"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 ok I swe-" I start
"It's what I don't see that matters most... and I don't see a lot" he says
"What..." I say

"Cool so-" I start
"But if we keep isolating ourselves like this, our solace will become our prison. We have to get the spark back" he says

"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
