"Remember, always communicate with your opponents. Bad things happen if you don't communicate." Alice instructed as she stood on the ring apron. She and her best friend Azalea were training the adult afternoon class in their wrestling school, as she didn't have much else to do. She hadn't been wrestling since she broke her neck in early 2022. A lot of people thought she was retiring and even she herself didn't know if that was the case.

"Jeremiah and Kelce, you're up next. Come on." Azalea watched as the other two stepped out, being replaced with the two men Azalea had called.

The bell from the door rung, signaling someone just entered the building. "We're training a private class right now, come back after 6 please!" Alice said, not even looking at the door as she wrote something down on her clipboard.

Azalea turned to check who it was as she didn't hear them leave. Her eyes widened slightly seeing him and she immediately began to nudge Alice. "Uhm, you might wanna turn around babe," Azalea said.

Alice sighed and turned around, her eyes practically bulging out her head as she seen him. "Yo, is that Kenny Omega?" Ezra, another student whispered to the group. "Did I say you could stop? Keep going," Alice said seeing everyone had paused to look at her ex.

"Alright, you go ahead and deal with that. I'll finish this up," Azalea said, glancing at the man who was looking around at the walls. The last time he had been there, it was way more different than last time. The walls were painted a light gray, the rings were more sturdy and advanced, and it had a ton of Alice's accomplishments, along with Azalea's. There was a wall that had a hand painted picture of Alice's and Azalea's legendary match at Wrestlemania 35. Even a wall dedicated to the Bullet Club.

Alice sighed and handed Izzy her clipboard before hopping off the ring and making her way over to the man. "I can come back later, I didn't even know it was open today," Kenny said.

"You would know if you bothered to call me. The least you could've done is shoot me a text before dropping by without warning." Alice said, crossing her arms over her chest. It was obvious she wasn't super fond of him just showing up out nowhere. But, she couldn't be mad at him. Nothing in the world could make her mad at him and she hated that even more.

"I'm sorry, I know, I should've called. But, would you have even answered if I did?" Kenny replied, following Alice over to the other ring on the other side of the building so nobody could eavesdrop on their conversation. Alice looked down in thought, "Good point. Anyways, what do you need?" She said, leaning against the ring apron.

"I was wondering if we could get dinner, maybe? As friends, of course." Kenny awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck, mentally questioning why he even let the young bucks convince him into doing this.

"Uhm, I have a night class I'm supposed to coach an hour after this one, so I don't really have time to go out tonight," Alice said, trying her hardest to get out of it but Kenny could be persuasive when he wanted to. "That's okay, I get it, maybe tomorrow?" Kenny suggested.

As Alice went to agree, she was cut off when Azalea had imput into the convo. The class was already excused and getting ready to leave and Izzy couldn't help but eavesdrop. Plus, she had to get Alice back for the black eye. "Actually, I think the students would love for you to stick around and maybe teach them a few things. You can take my place tonight, maybe order some food too." Azalea smiled, throwing her arm around Alice who forced a smile.

"I'd love to, if that's okay with you, Alice," Kenny agreed.

"Sure, why not?" Alice muttered, knowing exactly what Izzy was doing. "I'm sorry, could you give us a moment please?" Alice didn't give Kenny a time to respond before she dragged Azalea away. Immediately did a ton of their students run over to get a picture with Kenny, seeing as their coaches were currently occupied and they were waiting to get a pic with him before they left. It's not everyday one of arguably the best wrestlers in the world, shows up at your wrestling class.

"If this is your way of getting back at me for the shiner, that is cruel. I apologized already," Alice said in disbelief.

"Oh come on, it's not like you didn't miss him, and it's not like you have to make up with him. Besides, the students have been asking for you to bring him since like day one. Plus, I wanna spend time with my girlfriend. So, it's a win win situation." Azalea concluded with an all too happy smile.

"Not for me. You're not the one who is being forced to be in the same room as your ex," Alice argued. Then she seen Azalea's look and sighed, "Bloody hell, this is not the same! You didn't even last a month with him! Kenny is my first love, this is completely different," Alice frowned, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Is?" Azalea raised a brow. Alice gaped, now realizing what she said. "I didn't-" She groaned seeing Azalea was already grabbing her duffle bag, getting ready to leave. Which would leave Kenny and Alice by themselves, of course once the students all left.

"Ms. Kingley, can I speak with you real quick?" Sylvia, one of Alice's most advanced students in the afternoon class, jogged over. Alice smiled and nodded, seeing how energetic she was. "Of course, what is it sweetheart?"

"So, I didn't tell you in the beginning of the class cause I'm still not sure if I should go through with it or not. But, I feel like as my coach, you should be the first to know." She spoke, setting her bag on the chair and pulling out an envelope. She handed it to Alice who opened it, a bit hesitant as her students did tend to play pranks on her a lot.

Alice couldn't help the grin that grew on her face as she read the paper. "We have looked over your tapes and were really impressed with your work. We are offering you a contract with All Elite Wrestling. Further details will be in the email we sent you. You may bring a guardian or your coach to come along. Sincerely, Tony Khan." Alice read aloud in Spanish as the letter was written in Spanish surprisingly.

She immediately wrapped her arms around Sylvia, not being able to stop some tears from escaping. "I'm so proud of you. You deserve it so much," Alice pressed a kiss to her head. Sylvia didn't even attempt to stop herself from sobbing, breaking down in her coach's arms. "I owe it all to you. You put your faith in me and never gave up on me when a lot of people did."

"You put the work in, that's all you darling." Sylvia nodded, taking her words in mind as she tried to stop her crying. "I would really love if you could come with me. I don't wanna make a decision that I'll regret if I sign that contract without having you look over it," she said.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world. When is it?" Alice asked.

"Wednesday of next week. They sent me two tickets for dynamite and two plane tickets to go there," Sylvia explained, showing Alice the tickets that she had in the envelope. "Great. I'll see you on Wednesday then. Have a good rest of your day." Alice hugged her once more and Sylvia grabbed her bag and headed towards the exit, not before waving a goodbye at Kenny. Alice waited till everyone left before heading to the cleaning closet to grab the broom to sweep the mat.

"You didn't have anything to do with my student getting offered a contract with AEW, right?" Alice asked Kenny, turning the air conditioner on as it was getting hot and the night students preferred training in the cold.

"I knew about it, but I had nothing to do with it. Her tapes impressed the boss and he wanted to sign her. I heard they have big plans for her too." Kenny said, grabbing the broom from her and she grabbed the lysol wipes. "That's good to hear. I want them to make it on their own, without any favors from me or my friends unless they ask personally. Sylvia's one of those girls who would gladly take the help, but it'd eat her up." Alice stated, stepping into the ring.

"Sounds a bit familiar, doesn't it?" Kenny raised a brow.

Alice chuckled lightly, "True. Why do you think she's attached to me so much? I flew her out here all the way from Puerto Rico, she had no family, nothing. So, I made a deal with her. If she did well in tryouts, I'd get her an apartment in the building I own, free of charge for a year. She literally got two jobs just to pay for private classes with me. She's motivated, she has passion, and I see a lot of myself in her." Kenny smiled hearing Alice speak about her student. Ever since she opened up her own wrestling school, she's loved coaching. And she's been pretty successful with it to as eight of her students had already gotten signed with NXT. Even a lot of the NXT talent took extra classes there too.

"I like what you've done with the place. It looks way better than any wrestling school I've been too." Alice chuckled at his compliment. Though most of the money put in to make it look so nice and expensive was courtesy of Azalea, as she was richer of the two and the designing was mostly Alice and Izzy's daughter, Eliana. "Better than Cody's, yeah?" Alice joked.

"Honesty? Yeah, better than Cody's. How many coaches do you have working here?" Kenny asked, setting the broom down after he finished sweeping.

"About fifteen, not counting myself and Izzy. I do three private classes on Monday's, and Saturday's, and sometimes if Izzy isn't busy, then she'll come in to help out. I'll even stop by sometimes during other classes. We teach a variety of styles, whether it's Lucha, Joshi, British Strong Style, it doesn't matter," Alice explained, wiping down the ropes. "So, business has been pretty good?" He concluded.

"Yes. Two years ago I wouldn't even think I would have so many people wanting to train here. I even bought the building I live in, specifically for students who are struggling and need a place to stay. A lot of international talents even fly out just to tryout for a class." A few minutes later, they continued with their small talk before the doors opened, and three students walked in.

"Hola, Ms. Kingley!" Xavier, another one of her students, waved. "Estás temprano!" Alice said in Spanish, waving back at the three with a smile. [translation: you're/ you are early]

"Es este tu novio?" Jacob, another one of her students questioned jokingly in Spanish. Xavier, Jacob and another one of their friends, Alejandro, all laughed along as Alice rolled her eyes at them.

"You wanna get sent back to the kids classes?" Alice shot back. "My bad, my bad!" Jacob raised his hands in mock surrender. Xavier and Alejandro both laughed at him as they headed towards the boys locker room.

Alice shook her head in exasperation before turning back to Kenny. "Despite being my best students, they can be extremely childish at times," Alice said.

"Yo, so what's Kenny Omega doing here? Is he replacing Ms. Evans today?" Alejandro asked, stepping onto the ring apron as Xavier and Jacob did the same. "Yes, only for today. He stopped by earlier for a chat and Azalea let him take her place. She has a flight to catch tomorrow anyways so she's gonna need the rest." Alice explained.

"That's wassup."

"Kenny, this is Xavier, Jacob and Alejandro. Three of my best students. Boys, this is Kenny Omega." Alice introduced as they all shook hands. "You mean your favorite students, right?" Xavier grinned and Alice rolled her eyes with a small smile. "If you start cleaning up your mess in the kitchen then maybe," Alice countered.

"This is bs, why am I never first?! I'm literally the daughter of one of the owners," Eliana groaned in annoyance as she walked into the building. "Maybe because you're too busy spending time with that snotty boyfriend of yours," Alejandro stated with an eye roll. Everyone knew he had a huge crush on Eliana, but before he could tell her, she had showed up to class with her new boyfriend.

"Shut up, Alex. We broke up," Elle set her car keys on the desk before walking to the women's locker room. Kenny and Alice shared a look, both silently happy that Elle finally broke up with the idiot. They clearly weren't good for each other as he was making Elle miss her training and absolutely ruining her mental health. "Not a word," Elle walked back out of the locker room and slid into the ring.

"Wasn't gonna say anything," Alice mumbled.

Elle looked up from her phone, finally noticing Kenny's presence. "Kenny? Nobody told me you were gonna be here. Hiii," Elle smiled excitedly, hugging Kenny. "It was a last minute decision," Alice mumbled. "Well it was a good one. I missed you," Elle said, already sensing that Alice and Kenny still hadn't discussed the breakup.

"I missed you too. I need to visit more, because I swear you've grown at least two inches," Kenny joked. "That's all you noticed? Not the fact that I'm almost as jacked as you?" Elle joked back, leaning on the ropes near Alejandro.

"Now you're reachin'," Xavier commented and Elle hit his shoulder with a glare. "Hey, no fighting. Wait till class starts," Alice scolded.

"You've got ten minutes till class starts so make yourselves useful and do some warm-ups," Alice ordered, sitting on the rope for them to step into the ring. Kenny stepped out onto the apron to give them more room, as did Alice. "What style do they wrestle the best?" Kenny asked, leaning his arms on the top rope.

"The boys are best in lucha libre and Elle is more advanced in joshi. Her wrestling style is like mine combined with her mother's." Alice explained to him.

"So how do you separate their styles when you're teaching them all together?" He asked, genuinely curious as to how she balanced all of this. Plus, he wanted to know if she genuinely would even have time to return to the wrestling on the road type of lifestyle.
"That's pretty easy actually. Usually I'll have them in groups working with each other in another ring and go back and forth teaching. This is my class for my more advanced students so it's way easier than my morning class with the newer ones."

Alice stepped into the ring and kneeled down next to Eliana who was doing push ups beside Alejandro. "Why did you guys break up? Be honest." Alice always made it her job to make sure Elle was focused on her career more than boys or girls. She was too young to be worrying about some boy who probably didn't even love her. She didn't want Elle to waste her years on relationships rather than her future. And yeah, it sounded strict and harsh but she had to learn the hard way and she didn't want Elle to go down the same path she and Azalea went.

"We got into an argument and he said he wanted me to stop taking classes so we could spend more time together and that he wanted to be the one to support me. But, I said I didn't want a man to take care of me. I want to support and take care of myself. And so he got mad and accused me of never loving him and being selfish. So, I broke up with him and an hour later this girl messages me on Instagram and tells me they've been in a relationship for two years even whilst we were together. Now I feel like an absolute idiot." Elle explained as she sat up to take a breather.

"You're not an idiot. He's just an asshole who never deserved you." Alejandro added. Alice glanced at him, seeing the way he was looking at Eliana. "Thanks," Elle mumbled quietly.

"Does your mother know about this?" Alice questioned. She didn't have time to have a heart to heart as she already heard students begin to enter the building so she figured she'd stop by Elle's place tomorrow to talk.

"No, I haven't talked to her all day. But, I swear I'll tell her eventually." Elle said, taking Alice's hand to help her stand up. "I hope this means you'll put more effort into class, no cutting, no sneaking off to text or leaving early, yes?"

Elle sighed and nodded, "Yes, I promise. I'll focus more."

"Good."

Alice turned around to look at her students who were all whispering about Kenny being there instead of Azalea. "So class, Ms. Evans will not be here today and an old friend of mine stopped by so he will be taking her place. Everyone say hi to Kenny Omega," Alice introduced. Everyone simultaneously said hi and he smiled and waved.

Mila, another student of hers, raised her hand and Alice pointed at her, gesturing for her to speak. "Two questions. Are you guys back together and can I leave early today?" She asked.

"Not that it is anyone's business, but no, he stopped by as a friend. And what's your excuse for leaving early today?" Alice raised her brows, Mila always being known for leaving early to spend time with her boyfriend.

"Uhh, my cat died?" Mila mumbled, getting small laughs from the class.

"Mila, you can leave early if you wish. But, that just tells me you're not taking this as serious as you need to be. Remember, I put you all in this class because you want to be a professional wrestler. You want to be signed to major companies and promotions. And if you keep this up, then you can gladly just stop coming overall. I don't have time to be training someone who's not gonna take this serious. You got it?" Alice looked at everyone, her words applying to everyone.

"Got it, sorry Ms. Kingley. I promise I'll take it more serious." Mila said.

"Good. Any more questions?" Alice looked around, seeing everyone shake their head in response. "Alright, go get ready, put your stuff away, you got five minutes. Hurry up. Just because we have a guest does not mean you can slack off today." Alice shooed them off as they headed to the back where the locker rooms were.

"Can I pick the music today?" Elle asked the boys groaned in objection. "No Taylor Swift again," they argued. "Why not? She's an icon," Elle retorted back in offense.

"Enough. And Jayla is choosing the music today," Alice said.

"Finally, someone with taste," Eliana hummed in satisfaction.

Alice laid her head on turnbuckle, already stressed out. She knew this class was gonna be extra chaotic with Kenny there. But, hopefully it could be fun and get over with fast.

Three hours later, to say they were having fun was an understatement. "Okay, whoever can do Kenny's finisher properly, they can choose what we have for dinner tonight, on me of course. Chinese and Mexican are the options tonight," Alice said. "Oh I got this in the bag," Jacob said arrogantly, stepping into the ring as everyone stood on the apron but Kenny and Alice.

"If you're so sure of yourself. Do it on me," Alice chuckled as his face dropped. "I don't think that's a good idea. I-I could drop you," Jacob stuttered and the class all shared laughs.

"No, no you got this, remember?" Alice faked confusion. "Nevermind. Alejandro, you go!" Jacob quickly got out of the ring and pushed Alejandro in.

"You ready?" Alice pulled off her jacket and tossed it to Kenny who easily caught it. "Yeah." Alice jumped off the middle rope, right onto Alejandro's shoulders, she easily reversed the position and Alejandro hooked an arm around her neck, being extra careful as he easily performed the One-Winged-Angel. Alice took Kenny's hand and let him pull her up as Alejandro grinned and shared a bro hug with Xavier.

"That was really good, nice job," Kenny complimented him. "Thanks man."

"Okay, Mexican or Chinese?" Alice asked. Alejandro looked at Eliana, "Elle can choose for me," he said. Elle smiled, a hint of blush rushing to her cheeks. "Mexican," Elle decided.

"Alrighty, Mexican it is." Alice clasped her hands together. "You all take a break and I'll order the food." Alice stepped out of the ring with Kenny and headed towards the main desk up front. "You're really good at this," Kenny said, leaning forward on the front desk as Alice sat down.

"I'm glad to hear that cause I honestly really used to suck at teaching. I didn't start doing the private classes until a year in, and even then, I wasn't that good at it." Alice chuckled. As they talked, it didn't even feel like she was speaking with an ex. It was quite normal actually. No awkwardness when they talked, no uncomfortable silence, it just felt like 2016 all over again. She practically forgot that they were even broken up. And honestly, she didn't even remember why they broke up.

About an hour later, everyone was sat around the floor and benches in the middle of the building, eating their food whilst having conversations. "Okay, okay, I have a question," Tamiya, another student, spoke up, grabbing everyone's attention.

"What is it?" Alice set down her fork, and put her attention on Tamiya.

"You don't have to answer but like I'm genuinely really curious cause y'all don't even act like exes. Why did y'all break up?" She asked.

Alice took a sip of her water, scrunching her brows in thought. "Uh, to be completely honest, I don't even remember. We just...did." Alice shrugged.

"I just know, it wasn't my choice," Kenny added. Alice looked at him with raised brows, "Oh really?"

"Yeah," Kenny stated. Alice licked her lips, deciding she'll discuss that with him after class as her private life was none of their business. Alice cleared her throat, "All right, enough questions, everyone finish up and clean up after yourselves. Class is being cut early today, so all of you have an amazing night. I'll see you next week and hopefully we'll have Ms. Evans with us." Alice stood up, grabbing her garbage and heading to the kitchen in the back.

"Before you all leave, I have a question," Kenny spoke once he seen Alice shut the door to the kitchen so she wouldn't even be able to hear anything. "What's up?" Jacob stood up, stretching his arms.

"Has she been training at all since the injury? And be honest, do you think she's ready to step into a ring, specifically an AEW one?" Kenny asked, mainly looking at Eliana and Jayla who trained with Alice separately more.

"She trains with us all the time, it's almost like she's got zero ring rust. We ask her about it a lot but she always brushes off the subject, almost like she doesn't ever wanna wrestle on TV again," Jayla said, getting nods of agreement from some of the others. "Yeah, mom told me she tried to ask Alice about returning to wrestling and she did everything to avoid talking about it," Elle added.

"If Ms. Evans couldn't get Alice to think it over then there's only really one person who could and that's you. You've known her longer than anyone and if you got her to return last time, I'm sure you could do it again. You could tell she's never lost that passion, someone just needs to wake her up or something," Xavier said before standing up.

"I gotta go, but good luck. It nice meetin' you," Jayla said, waving a goodbye as she grabbed her duffle bag and headed towards the exit.

"Please, convince her to return. I haven't seen her so lost before, and it's not just because of wrestling, it's because of you. She misses you even if you doesn't want to admit it." Elle spoke, giving a small hug to Kenny before standing up and heading to the back to grab her bag.

Alice walked out of her office, changed into some shorts and a sports bra with a crop top. "Night, peach" Alice kissed Elle's head before she watched as she left along with the rest.

"You don't have to stay, class is over. We can talk more another day," Alice said, locking the entrance door and switching off the lights but instead turning on the lights in the gym. "I'll leave when you leave," Kenny replied.

Alice chuckled under her breath as she unlocked the door to the gym room, "Just like old times."

Kenny sat down on the bench as Alice adjusted the weights to the machine. "So your students were telling me you practically had zero ring rust when you trained," Kenny spoke. Alice bit her lip as she sat down on the leg machine. (idk wtf it's called) "What are you gettin' at Kenny?" Alice deadpanned.

"I'm just saying, maybe it's not a bad idea that you at least consider returning," Kenny looked up, trying his best not to check her out as she worked out.

"Okay. Who put you up to this? Izzy? Matt? Nick? Elle? Who? Cause you don't just drop by to see your ex just to convince her to return to wrestling out of nowhere," Alice stopped her workout, putting all her attention on Kenny. "Alright, maybe I was sent here." Kenny couldn't help but give in. She always had the affect on him. He couldn't keep secrets from her.

Alice couldn't help but run a hand down her hair, already feeling stupid. Part of her actually hoped that Kenny came here to see her by himself. But of course he had to be forced to see her. "It's not what you think, Alice." Kenny imput, already sensing what Alice was thinking and he never wanted her to feel like that.

"Then what is it, Kenny? Cause honestly I feel really fucking stupid right now. I actually thought that just maybe, you came here by yourself, without anyone having to force you to come see me." Alice didn't even shout or raise her voice, she didn't need to, and she didn't want to. She knew he understood her. She never felt the need to yell and neither did he.

"Look maybe I was asked to come here, but I really did want to see you. Ever since we broke up, I've felt so lost without you. I miss you, I really do. That's why I was forced to come here, I was so scared to see you cause I didn't know if you felt the same way. And I still don't know if you do either." Alice stood up slowly as he spoke, still listening, she sat down on the bench, straddling it to face him.

"Yes, you do." She interrupted. He sighed and nodded, "Yeah, you're right, I do." Alice cracked a small smile but immediately covered it, still wanting to act like she was upset with him. "Besides us, why else did you come here?" She asked.

"Before you got injured, TK wanted to sign you once your contract with WWE was done. Then when you got injured, we've been keeping track on your recovery ever since, with the help of the Bucks and a few friends." Kenny explained, stopping when Alice rolled her eyes, "I knew it. Those little shits kept acting like it was a necessity that they had to use my rings to train. I literally had to make them keys because of how many times they stopped by."

Kenny chuckled and she gestured for him to continue. "Well, the other day when you and Azalea posted that video on your YouTube of you guys training the students, TK saw it and asked us, or well me, to come by and get you to consider returning and sign with AEW." He finished, searching her face for a reaction but got nothing.

"This is what I don't get. Hypothetically, if I were to sign with them, what would they even do with me?" Alice pointed out. "Jamie Hayter needs an opponent for Revolution." Kenny replied, going to continue but Alice interrupted, "She already has one, or well two. Saraya, unfortunately, and Ruby Soho. Yes, I keep up."

"If you let me finish. They want to do a four way. The match itself will do good, they have no doubt in that, but with you, it'll be amazing." Alice rubbed her wrist, still not sure if it was even a good idea to return. "What I'm hearing, is that TK wants me to be a producer?" She asked, unsure of it.

"Yes, and the women's division has been a little underwhelming so he wants you on creative because of how good you did last time," he said. Alice sighed, obviously having doubts but also considering it. "Okay, let's say I do sign with AEW. And let's say I do put Jamie Hayter over at Revolution. After that, what else?" They both knew she was someone who absolutely needed things planned ahead of time. She hated things last minute cause they hardly ever worked out.

"To be honest, I'm not too sure. But, before I showed up here we talked with TK and he's planning a BCC vs The Elite storyline and he wanted you to be apart of it." Kenny wanted her to come back, but he would obviously understand if she wasn't ready.

"Look, I appreciate you guys for pushing me to return but I just can't. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't return to wrestling unless I had Izzy with me. I'm sorry." Alice gave an apologetic look and he nodded understandingly.

"I kinda figured you'd say that. So I talked to Izzy and her contract with Stardom is up soon. We talked over the phone with TK last week and if you agreed to sign with AEW, she would to. We even discussed what to do with you both and we were thinking, since she has a past with Moxley, she would be the perfect fit for the Blackpool Combat Club. Then, that gives us Azalea Evans vs Alice Kingley at Double or Nothing. And before you say anything, you and Izzy will have full control with the story. This was all her idea too."

Alice smiled to herself, really loving that idea. Azalea would fit perfectly with the BCC. She had the look, the style and skills. It was genius. "Fuck, that's actually genius, I can't lie." Alice ran a hand down her mouth, thinking over it again. "How about, you let me think it over and I'll give you my answer Wednesday when I go to Dynamite." Alice concluded. Kenny smiled and nodded, he definitely thought it would've been tougher but that was pretty easy.

"Uhm, yeah I'm just gonna skip my workout today," Alice mumbled, quickly going to stand up and leave but Kenny grabbed her hand and she sighed, sitting back down. "I'm gonna just be honest here. Do you honestly think we could ever work this out?" He asked.

Alice glanced down at his hand on hers and looked back at him. "Maybe. Just not at this moment. I'm sorry."

Kenny nodded slowly, trying to process that. But, he still wasn't gonna lose hope. She didn't say never. "I'll leave you to your work. Goodnight, Alice." Kenny pressed a kiss to her hand before standing up and walking out of the gym. Part of him hoped she would stop him but, that was lost as he exit the building, not seeing her wipe the tears from her face.

"Goodnight, Kenny."
