Post Wolf in Sheep's Clothing! Geneva feeling lost and with no one to turn to because anyone who shows her sympathy is just fishing for gossip on McDonough.
Until John the barber, who shows her real empathy and is worried about her and validates how traumatic the experience of being held hostage was for her. Who becomes her friend, slow and steady until one day he's fumbling over his words, pink in his cheeks with a hand on the back of his neck because he's never been flustered by a woman before, and she asks him if he would like to buy her a drink at the Dugout.
They sit together for hours, and he asks her questions about herself and he seems to really want to know the answer, and none of them feel invasive or leading. After he walks her home like a gentleman and she kisses him on the cheek like some lovestruck teenage girl. She feels young again, she thinks to herself, and then realizes that no, she doesn't. She feels her age. She doesn't feel tired and worn down. She feels alive again.
