He can't stop his smile as he crosses the parking lot. Free and easy and who gives a shit who sees it? Mick is a free man. "Hey," a smile as he closes in and only just checks a desire to touch, to draw him in.
But he doesn't. Not until they're in the car and he can just slide his hand into his partner's. It's enough. Not nearly what Mick needs but it's a damn sight better than his hand on thick, scarred up glass for ten months.
