cleo kept her circle small and it was for no other reason than to protect herself. she was relatively nervous around new people but after staying with carmen and mei when moving to providence peak, she managed to get close to her old friend's wife and she admittedly enjoyed the other's company. she was just about to break for lunch when she noticed the other coming in and smiled, "hey," she paused and glanced over her shoulder, "i think mei's still with a patient but her door's open if you want to drop her some lunch off. i was actually going to run and grab a coffee though. did you want to come with? she should be done by then."

dominic debated longer than he should have on approaching the other. really, he wasn't going to. he still felt as though things were rocky when it came to his relationship with mei and the last thing that he wanted to do was to make things worse but after a minute of overthinking everything that could potentially go wrong, he approached his sister's wife. "long time, no see," he started, pausing for a moment longer. he wasn't sure what else to say. i'm sorry for skipping your wedding. i'm sorry for letting my parents come between us. neither of those things left his lips. instead, he offered a somewhat small smile, "i-you know, should thank you for being there for mei all these years." the years he wasn't. "i'm glad she has you."
