Last spark from the ashes

Bryn must catch it, from the half smile she quirks at Steve. She came back all right, one way or another. It doesn't sound like his friend was so lucky. That must have hurt. She doesn't like to think how Gil would have taken it if she'd gone off without him and then failed to come back.

Maybe that's why he's also so willing to change the subject. "Ah. That sounds nice too, honestly. I've never actually watched a baseball game, but Bryn used to drag us out to watch football sometimes. Staying in to watch it was a lot more... peaceful."
