he saw your"Aye! Stop that, you're gonna dirty up my windows.."

You quietly laughed,
"Sorry, I'm just bored."

"Get on your phone or somethin." he suggested

You shrugged and let silence sink in,
"You know Hank I still know so little about you...this could be a bonding experience." you smirked over at him

he grinned and playfully rolled his eyes,
"You sound like Connor..."

You quietly laughed,
"I'm serious. I mean Mr. 'im hoping you'll be my daughter in law', we still barely know much about eachother."

He glanced at you,
"There's not much to know. As far as I know you know almost everything about me, Y/n."

"Have you thought about having real life? I mean Connor's amazing but yknow..."

He pressed his lips together and pulled his eyes from the road one more time to look at you,
"Well....I actually did...It hasn't always been Connor, yknow?"

"Really? Why haven't I heard of this...?"

"It's not really...the same anymore, he's not really with us anymore." he mumbles

"Oh, god. I'm so sorry! God I feel liks such a dick now!" You mentally slapped yourself in the face

He weakly chuckled,
"Calm down, it's fine. His name was Cole..he was six..."

"God, I won't ask anymore but I'm very sorry, Hank."

He softly nodded and cleared his throat,
"What about you, tell me about yourself..?"

"I'm afraid there's much to say, I don't remember my mom or dad. I never was adopted and the only person I counted as family left me too." you sadly smiled

"Well it's everyone's loss really, you're an amazing kid."

you looked at him,
"You really think so?"

"I know so. You're very kind, caring, a bit awkward but--"

you playfully hit his shoulder and you both quietly laughed,
"I'm not awkward....am I? I mean I've never really had friends....." you shrugged

"Well...I've seen worse. You get your work done and youre passionate about it, that's a good quality as well."

You nodded,
"I think it's just been my way of avoiding things," you looked out the window, "I know I've said it before but I'm so sorry...about--"

"Y/n, I told you not to be sorry about that...seriously. I'm just glad I got to you in time."

"Still, I feel awful about it...and now here I am staying with you and Connor like a freeloader." you scoffed

" Are you serious? We're happy to have you here with us, I'm just as happy as Connor...if that's possible."

"Well I'm hoping I can go back to my apartment soon, I know I'm welcomed in your home...but I can't help but feel I'm overstaying.."

"I get it," he sighed, "We probably should've bought snacks."

"I did! What do you think took me so long to pay for gas?" you smiled and happily dug into the backseat, pulling a plastic bag filled with assorted gas station snacks into your lap. You dug around in the bag,
"What are ya feeling? I got chips, candy, cakes, I got a couple of soft drinks , chocolate, I grabbed some of those bagged pickles, some beef jerky--"

"Jesus, how much did you spend?!" his eyes widened as your list went on

"Probably too much...but a good road trip needs junk food!" You smiled happily
