He was looking at you again, maybe just for a second too long and you had noticed.

"I saw that. You just checked me out." you spoke, calling him out in a calm voice.

Rush turned away, prompting Carmina to smirk at you.

You were supposed to be out liberating Highwaymen outposts, search for supplies, and make the Twins' lives hell. But Carmina and Kim insisted you stay and visit Prosperity, to boost morale of course.

Although you did miss talking to Rush, and being around him in general. Even if you were coworkers, it's not like anyone noticed, or even gave little thought to what was going on that didn't have to do with Mickey and Lou.

"Maybe… Don't you have an outpost to capture, and people to shoot?" Rush asks, hiding the embarrassment in his voice.

"Timber ran off with the other dogs here, Hurk's with Blade. And, well, I can't find anyone else. To be honest, that Judge guy kind of creeps me out." you admit.

"Go alone if you have to, we've got everything held down here, Cap." Rush nods.

You roll your eyes, "Fine, but I'll be back, and we're going to have a talk about boundaries. Okay?"

"Of course, and be careful." Rush says.

"I'm always careful," you smirk.

"Taking down three elite Highwayman enforcers with your bare hands is careful?" he teases.

"Well, I kind of panicked… BUT then I handled it." you laugh, turning on your heel and waving at him before slow-jogging towards the exit.
