Diana was nervous. It was understandable, given how the last week or so had gone. Her eyes kept flitting between the wooden desk - which trumped one side of Stephen's office - and the door she was expecting Adam to come through at any moment. Despite what he'd said over the network when he'd first arrived, Diana wasn't certain that his opinion of any of their friends would stay the same after tonight... Maybe Faye, but of all of them, Faye was the one who had managed to stay the most consistent. She'd gone dark, Nick had died, Melissa had gotten addicted to a drug but otherwise had remained mostly herself.
It was a life Adam hadn't lived. If she didn't tell him anything he could just keep on being who he was now, but it wouldn't be fair to him. Not only that, too much had been said already to take it back. He deserved to know and to understand. And whatever he took from it, whatever he did with it, that would be his decision.
At least here, in Stephen's borrowed office in the compound, they wouldn't have to worry about Madison coming home in the middle of it. It was most of the reason she'd asked to borrow it in the first place.
Diana turned her head, hearing the door open. And there he was. She was hit by a wave of familiarity, memories of everything they'd done together since they were little, the sound of the pebble hitting the glass of her window at night. There was no going back.
She stood from the couch, offering him a small smile as if they'd seen one another an hour ago in calc. "Hi Adam."
