Annnnnd there she was, Gage's lips tugged into a grin at the sight of her, especially as she hadn't changed all that much. It was super reassuring because hell time had a way of doing that, changing people, changing things and Gage was only human and he worried.
"Ooh harsh," he hissed as he gave her an offended look. "I'm hurt that you actually think that." He shifted off the table and immediately enveloped her into a hug which totally belied his earlier statement that he was hurt. It was just so fucking good to see her even if he would rather it be outside than stuck here in this place.
Friends were after all a very rare precious commodity for Gage so the ones he did have he treasured dearly.
