       *Sam* We need to do recon. Check the west wing of the temple,
       this doesn't make any sense....Let's go to the beach.
       *Sully* I'll load the jeep.
       What--Guys.
       *Sam* By the time we get out there it'll be dark, no use going
       now.
       *Nate* He's right. If I stare at these maps any more I'm going
       to poke my eyes out.
       *Sam* We can play volleyball. Oh! Show her.
       *Nate* *smirks* Got ya something in the village.
       IS THAT WINE?!
       *Nate* You've been complaining about having none since we left
       Nepal. I think you have a drinking problem.
       *Sully* Let's go kids!
       Fine. Fine!

       *looking over Pedro’s shoulder* You don’t have to buy me
       anything.
       *Pedro* Make it a welcome gift and a thank you for saving my
       sanity.
       I’d do it you any time.
       *Pedro* Oh yeah? That constitutes a thank you. You know that.
       *sighs* I’d take a hug as a thank you.
       *Pedro* Plenty of those to go around.
       *rests head on his shoulder* You smell lovely. Did you put
       cologne on for me?
       *Pedro**shrugs* Maybe. *smirks*

       *sips wine* *yells* The ball hit the sand! Turn it over!
       *Sam* Sully is the ref not you! I thought you were trying to
       "work!"
       Someone has to! And I can do two things at once!
       *Nate* Sully, he's cheating! Stop napping and ref!
       *pulls phone out and texts you* "Hey, don't want to bother you.
       I'm not even sure what time it is over there. Just want to make
       sure you're doing okay."

       *wakes up with Pedro’s arm around me**grabs my phone without
       disturbing him* *texts back* “It’s not a bother at all, it’s
       like midnight, I think. Things have taken a turn and I am
       minorly forced to stay with the coworker for a while. The cases
       have jumped and production has been delayed and yeah. It’s up on
       the air about a lot of things.”

       *texts* “Oh my god, I’m sorry. I need to get a handle on the
       time difference. I hope your co-worker is nice and smart about
       things otherwise that sucks. I feel so awful and helpless that I
       can’t do anything. Just remember I have people who will come get
       you. I’m always here no matter what time it is, talk, text,
       video. I don’t have anything terribly pressing happening at the
       moment.”
       *Sam* COME PLAY!
       No you cheat!
       *Nate* HA!

       *texts* “Dude. It’s all good. It’s nice to hear from you. My
       coworker is lovely. Very sweet. I just hope this virus gets
       under control.
       *Pedro**stirs next to me* Everything all good?
       *puts phone down and blinks at him* Yeah, half asleep I think.
       *Pedro**opens arms and pulls me against his chest* Let’s go back
       to sleep then.

       *sits down on the couch* I need to stop day-drinking.
       *Nate* It's night now.
       I know and I'd like to make some sense of this map lest you
       break your damn neck next time we go back to the ruins.
       *Nate* Come on, Sam and Sully went to get that intel in the
       village. We don't have to share this bottle with them. I will
       literally twist your arm.
       *opens laptop* Fine. Pour it, cowboy.

       *the next morning*
       *Pedro* It’s nice waking up with someone actually in bed with
       me.
       It certainly is nice to sleep with someone instead of my stuffed
       fox.
       *Pedro* Is that why you were clinging to me?
       *sticks tongue out* If I recall, you did that same thing. *grabs
       hoodie from his closet and pulls it over my head* (((it’s THE
       HOODIE)))
       *Pedro* You look amazing in that.
       Thanks, I’m never giving it back.

       Did they get lost? Give me back my laptop.
       *Nate* No, I'm about to have the high score in pinball. Sam said
       it could take a while, the guy isn't exactly trustworthy.
       *sips wine* Oh really? You mean a guy helping us do something
       illegal isn't an upstanding gentleman?
       *Nate* Not everyone can be me. *winks*
       *leans against his shoulder* That's probably best for society as
       a whole. You're not worried? The news keeps talking about about
       lockdowns and sh!t.
       *Nate* Babe, they're not gonna get trapped and kept prisoner
       plus that's not exactly a city. Crap, I missed!

       *late morning now*
       *paces room while on the phone with my boss* Yeah, Karen. He’s
       totally fine with it. Absolutely! I will talk to you later.
       *forced smile* Bye!
       *Pedro* That was painful. I really didn’t think she’d
       continually ask you if I was really okay with it. I should’ve
       talked to her.
       *laughs* That would’ve made her question it more. But she did
       also say something else, I didn’t respond to.
       *Pedro* What?
       She told me not to get too attached.
       *Pedro* *stares at me*
       *sighs* I’m fxcked.
