Chris blinked back.
Leon rubbed a hand over his face. “Wow, this is so much more humiliating than I ever imagined. Did you think I drank on missions?”
Chris opened his mouth, and then closed it. “No,” then, despite himself and everything else, his lips twitched in a small smile, “No, I never thought that. I think this is now a bit more embarrassing for me than you, Rookie.”
“Great talk,” Leon mumbled through his hands, “Let’s never do this again.”
“Yeah. Let’s not.”
Leon dropped his hands. “We won’t. I promise.”
Chris patted Leon’s shoulder hard, then squeezed it. “That’ll be a nice welcome home gift for her. Let’s go.”
