    Summary

    "Don’t tell them where I am, please,” she says. The fatigue in her voice is surprising, though despite the word, there is hardly any pleading in her tone. “I’m just getting some space while we’re laying low.”
    “Thought they kept you on a tighter leash,” he says after another shot. “Well, some fresh air should be good for you.”
