It was a blink and you miss it moment. One second the chair was empty and the next he was there and eating the half of one of the sandwiches.

How long had it been since she'd last seen him? She didn't even know if he knew where she was living. Yes there had been a story about in one of the papers when it had started, but child endangerment was apparantly a big thing for the NY circuit court. But she could fill him in on all of that, and would. Her media blackout, all of it! She had to tell him about her costume!
"God, look at you!" she pulled back for a moment, looking him up and down. "I missed you so much!" She didn't have to hide. Not with Bart! He'd been her first friend.
