This is when Deacon arrived, brandishing the Mexican food and a bag of soda bottles. "D!" Sam said, getting up and hugging him tightly. "Thank you so much." She said, taking one of the bags from him to set it on the table by them. Miguel got up to hug him too, Deacon sniffing him when he did. Something neither of them caught.
Sam gestured to Daniel. "Deacon, this is our dad, Daniel." She said, Deacon was only about two inches taller than she was, much like Daniel had been in '84. He brushed curls out of his eyes, and stepped forward, offering his hand. "I'm Deacon Hale, it's really awesome to meet you." He said, a soft lilting Greek accent coming out of his mouth.
"I really wish I'd known who you were before now." He said, looking like he wanted to hug Daniel.
