Briggs exhaled, drumming his fingers against the table. Then, with a small smile, he said, "You know, you could come over anytime. Max and the little gremlins would love to meet Captain Hunter."
Rina smirked, tilting her head. "Oh? So, I'd be a celebrity guest? Signing autographs and dodging flying toys?"
Briggs chuckled. "Something like that. But seriously, Rina… door's always open. You don't have to be alone all the time."
She paused for a moment, the usual witty comeback sitting at the edge of her tongue. But instead, she just gave him a small, genuine smile.
"I'd love to."
And for once, she actually meant it.
