20 Megan sank onto Mason’s couch and sighed. She felt like it was the first real breath she’d taken since Justin knocked on the door that morning and told her she had to come with him to the F-BOMB office. “Are you doing okay?” Mason asked. He hovered near the kitchen like he wasn’t sure if he should be near her or not. Megan reached out her hand for him to come closer. He took it and let her pull him to the couch next to her. “I’m better now.” “Did Slade give you any issues today?” Megan shook her head. “He was fine. Everyone was. It was just a lot for me to absorb. The whole day was… I didn’t really understand what you guys do, and seeing it firsthand was a little overwhelming.” “We do it to keep people safe.” “I know. And I think it’s great. I’m really proud to know all of you.”
