When Vanessa was halfway through the box, Talon came over to her side. He pushed a plate across the table, sliding two pizza slices closer to her. Vanessa looked up, smiled at him and grabbed the plate. She pulled it towards herself and eagerly grabbed a piece.

"Thank you so much for helping out today." Talon said. He pulled away from Vanessa and walked to the front door with Marcus. Vanessa watched as the men continued chatting for a few minutes. She smiled, knowing that Marcus was a good friend that was always there for Talon.
