"Hey, boss."

Nothing.
He said nothing.
Nimona took in a shaky breath.

"O-kay..." She began. "Well, it was great seeing you, boss." The teen tried to turn on her heel, disappointment burning in her chest, but was stopped when strong arms wrapped around her tense frame. She froze.

"Don't ever do that again." Was all he said, and all it took for Nimonas eyes to fill with tears.
