Leaving the house today had been bad enough, but now Colton was hiding in the soup aisle of the supermarket, because he'd seen Marie a couple of aisles over, when he'd been trying to buy fish food. Because dammit, he might do a shocking job of looking after himself but he wasn't going to let anything happen to Mr Krink, not whilst he was alive. But his irritating ringtone started, and as he pulled out his phone to answer a call, he didn't notice her appear. Quickly shutting it off, he tried not to sigh or run away, and succeeded in both endeavours. "Oh. Hello," he said civilly.
