(Three Months Later)

Briar- Leaning my head against the window as I look out at the baby blue sky painted in a sea of white cotton. (Sighs Heavily)

Nick- Hearing my daughters rather heavy sigh, I glance up from my laptop. "You okay?"

Briar- (Hums and Nods)

Nick- Looking back down, but not really reading the words on the screen. "Have you talked to Dakota recently?"

Briar- I look over at the man whom is my mother and see he's barely paying attention to what he is supposed to be researching for our location. "No, I haven't. Last time I messaged him he was on an investigation and now I'm on an investigation."

Nick- Rubbing at my stinging eyes. "Briar let me give you some advice." Turning slightly to face my child. "Your father and I made our relationship work, so can you and Dakota." Pausing for a moment, before I continue. "Do not make your job an excuse to chase him away, especially when he is probably the only guy I will ever approve of."

Briar- (Giggles and Nods) "Okay and mom..." He turns back to his laptop, but glances towards me once more. "Thank you."

Nick- (Nods Curtly) "You're very welcome." Once I see she pulls her phone out, I turn my attention back to the research on my laptop screen.

Briar- Lightly tapping the back of my phone that is between my hands. (Huffs Softly) I start texting Coda;

'🥀- I'm board ☠️...talk to me?!

👻- Lol 😂 Sure. Where you at?

🥀- On a plane ✈️ , we are on the way to Ireland.

👻- New location? Sounds like fun!

🥀- 🙄 Ya, fun if you enjoy sitting hours on a plane and kinda it's a location mom has been too before. Though for the rest of us, it's new.

👻- Lol...I feel your pain. How can I make it more bearable for you?

🥀- Want to play twenty-one questions?

👻- 🙂 Sure, I'd love to get to know you better! Who is going first?

🥀- My idea, so I guess me. Let's start out easy, favorite color?

👻- Wow that is easy, black ◼️. Yours?

🥀- Scarlet.

👻- Really? I never would have imagined you a color person and that is a really pretty color too. Alright my turn! Favorite animal?

🥀- A lot of people just assume things about me, just because I wear black. I know it is, it's the color of the setting and rising sun. 🌄Slightly tough question, I'm gonna have to say a bat. 🦇 You?

👻- Really, that's a bit harsh...you're an amazing person under that cold and mysterious exterior. Wow that's deep and a wolf. 🐺

🥀- You're the first person to see the real me behind the walls I've built. Favorite food?

👻- Well I'm honored and pizza 🍕!!! You?

🥀- 🙄 Pizza, wings and beer the only thing you guys eat...I don't really have a favorite. Mom likes to make sure I try knew things, though he does cook a lot of Italian 🍝 but that's in our blood.
