He should be able to handle this. It's nothing he hasn't done a hundred times before- but it's the lack of sleep, the smoke, the horrible dreams that kept him up in the first place that has him shaken. Carolina's hand is something he leans into subtly- not enough to be seen but enough to steady him all the more.

He turns to flash her a smile, one that feels more real. Why wouldn't he smile? He's good with everyone he works with- well. Everyone but Reggie. "You think? Say I trashed my voice. Kinda did."

Bless them both for that.
