Flynn

We got out of the car in the main city of Westville. Oceane and I automatically were about to hold hands when we both looked at each other and retracted.

I shoved mine in my pocket she smiled weakly before smoothing out her hair.

"*Cough* shall we?" I nodded to the path ahead and she followed suit.

"Oh come here..." She forcibly took my hand and laced her with mine

"It...it feels weird not having you hold my hand..."

I gave it a gentle squeeze and we continued down the path.

"I'm only holding your hand so you feel comfortable. *Cough* Right thing to do."

I felt her thumb run over my knuckles and she said "Whatever you say Flynny?"

I ran my thumb over her knuckles and we smiled at each other before heading to the city.

After hunting for a good while, we came across an apartment with a resident named: E Nixon.

Flynn held both of my shoulders before pressing the buzzer and said "stay close okay? I ..I don't want you getting hurt." I watched her eyes intensely.

"Emma and Drew have met with him. You have no reason to worry, okay?" She gave me a kind smile and I nodded.

I pressed the buzzer and was met by "who is it?"

"Mr Nixon? I'm Flynn winters, Emma winters', brother? Martha's son?"

There was silence and he buzzed us in.

"So this is where we could die. If you have any feelings for me say them now or forever hold your peace." I said as we walked up the stairs.

"I will not hesitate to push you over this railing." She walked past me.

'worth a shot." I shrugged and followed after her.

"Admit it." When we got to the top, I stood Infront of her and she sighed.

"Admit what?"

I raised a brow and she sighed again.

"We get this over and done with without any insults or remarks, I'll have a drink with you. Deal?"

My eyes widened.

"Deal Smith."

I knocked and the door as we both eyed each other.

".... Flynn?" Eric said at the door.

"Mr Nixon... It's a pleasure to..."

Suddenly I was pulled into a hug.

"Please, please come in..." He said.

Oceane smiled as I shrugged and followed him inside.

"This is Oceane, she's... Elta Smith's daughter if the name rings a bell." I introduced.

"Elta... Marty's best friend. It's a pleasure..."

They shook hands and Oceane smiled. "It's lovely to meet you.."

"Honestly, I never thought I would meet either of you... Is everything okay? Emma? Andrew?"

I nodded "yes yes... Well, I mean kind of Drew was in prison for a setup and a whole lots gone on but in all honesty, I just wanted to meet you." I raised a brow.
