Most of the family has dispersed, while Jack and Rachel stayed at the house with Kyle.
"No offense," Jack said, "You look wiped out."
"Telling everyone was harder than I thought," Kyle said.
"You know you haven't eaten all day," Rachel said, "Are you hungry?"
"Not really," Kyle said, "Maybe just a little."
"Do you want me to get Mrs. Martinez to fix you something light?" Rachel said.
"No thanks," Kyle said, "It's okay."
"You have to keep your strength up," Jack said.
"I will..." Kyle said, pausing to soften his tempered tone, "I will have something later."
"It's almost time for your appointment," Jack said.
Kyle nodded, as Rachel said, "Do you want me to come?"
"I would like that," Kyle said, "But don't you have to get to work sometime today?"
"You are more important than work," Rachel said, "I want to be here for you."
"I love you for that," Kyle said, "But, I don't mind if you want to go check in at work."
"It doesn't feel right," Rachel said.
"Don't worry," Jack said, "I've got this. I'll take Kyle where he needs to be and you can go to Jabot. I'm sure Ravi is going crazy without you to help take some of the weight off his shoulders."
"I think Ravi likes the stress," Rachel said.
"You may be right," Jack smiled.
"I should go in tomorrow," Kyle said.
Jack and Rachel, shared a look, prompting Jack to say, "I don't think so."
"Why not?" Kyle said, "Okay, I may be sick, but I can still do my job. At least for now I can, until I have surgery."
"The doctor said, you need to avoid stress and rest," Jack said, "That means now, not just when you have surgery."
"I need to work," Kyle said.
"You know you have had difficulty at work lately," Jack said, "It is not good for you."
"I cannot just sit around here day after day, worrying, wondering and not doing anything," Kyle protested, "I will go out of my mind."
"You are taking a leave of absence," Jack said, "Effective immediately."
"I need to do something," Kyle said, "What if I work half days?"
"Not happening," Jack said.
"Then is there something I can work on from home?" Kyle said.
"Yes," Jack said, "Take this opportunity to rest. Sit by the pool, read a good book, watch some movies, talk with a friend. I am sure if you try you can keep yourself occupied with something stress free."
"My life is nothing but stress right now," Kyle said. Noticing the look on Jack's face, Kyle said, "Fine, I will stay put."
"You can still go out if you feel up to it," Rachel said.
"But you are not to drive," Jack said.
"First I am not allowed to go to work," Kyle said, "Now I can't drive either?"
"In case you have forgotten, those are doctor's orders," Jack said.
"Great," Kyle sighed, "I am confined to home."
"It's for your own good," Jack said.
"If you want to go somewhere, I can go with you," Rachel said, "As long as you feel okay, we can still get out of the house."
"Yeah, I guess," Kyle said. Looking at Rachel, Kyle said, "You said something about going to work?"
"Are you trying to get rid of me?" Rachel said.
"Never," Kyle said.
Rachel looked questioningly at Kyle, who said, "Go, it's okay. My Dad will be there to make sure I don't pass out and do a face plant."
Jack and Rachel looked at Kyle, who said, "That was supposed to be a joke."
Rachel closed her eyes and shook her head. Smiling she said, "It's nice to see you haven't lost your sense of humor."
"If I don't laugh, I'll cry," Kyle said. Rachel leaned over and kissed his cheek.
"Alright," Rachel sighed, "I will go and when I come back you can tell me all about your appointment."
"Deal," Kyle said, sharing a quick kiss with her.
"I think I am going to ask Mrs. Martinez to make something to go," Jack said, leaving the room.
Taking one of Kyle's hands, Rachel rested her head against his shoulder. "This is nice," Kyle said. Gesturing towards the door, he continued, "But you have to go that way, to get to work."
"I will leave when you and your Dad go out," Rachel said, "There is something we need to talk about." Kyle nodded.
"The wedding," Kyle said, "That's what you want to talk about."
"It seems we are going to have to make some changes," Rachel said.
"That was supposed to be the best day of our lives," Kyle said, "Instead, I will be at the hospital, having surgical treatment that I might not come out of."
"Of course you will," Rachel said.
"I hope you're right," Kyle said.
Attempting to change the subject, Rachel said, "About the wedding…"
"Rachel, I'm sorry," Kyle said.
"For what?" Rachel said.
"Ruining our chance to have our wedding the way we wanted," Kyle said.
"No, Kyle…" Rachel said.
"I feel like I disappointed you and let you down," Kyle said, "Our chance at happiness is all gone because of me."
"Kyle, this is not your fault," Rachel said, "We did not know this was going to happen. Furthermore, you have not let me down. I still love you very much. We will deal with this, get you better and then we can get married. We just have to postpone."
"Maybe we should cancel it altogether," Kyle said, "There is not much point doing this if I am not going to be here for long."
"You need to stop this," Rachel said, "There is no reason to cancel anything."
"Rachel, I don't want to make you a widow, shortly after we get married," Kyle said.
"I know you're scared that will happen," Rachel said, "But Kyle, you have to stop talking like you are not going to make it."
"Let's face it," Kyle said, "One day I am going to be gone. Sooner rather than later."
"No," Rachel said, "You don't know that. Please, you can't focus on the worst. It's not good for you and it's not the way to deal with this. Yes, it's a horrible thought of what could happen, but there is also a wonderful thought of what could happen. You have a chance to make a full recovery. You have to try and focus on that."
"I'm trying," Kyle said, "It's just the thought of dying, knowing that I'm leaving you and Dad and everyone behind. All of it, really scares me."
Rachel hugged Kyle saying, "I know, it scares me too." Tears spilled down their cheeks, as Rachel took his hands and said, "There is a chance for you. Can you try and remember that? There is always hope. You need to hang onto that."
"I want to," Kyle said, "I don't know if I can."
"I'll help you," Rachel said, "We will hold on to that hope together. Okay?"
Kyle nodded. "Okay. I'm really glad you're here with me."
"I'm always going to be here," Rachel said, "I love you."
"I love you too," Kyle said. Wiping away his tears, he said, "And you're right. We have a wedding to think about. I just don't know how we plan right now."
"Why don't we wait until you have the procedure," Rachel said, "Then we can see what's next, what needs to be done. We will make plans as soon as we can."
"I still want to be able to give you the huge epic wedding," Kyle said.
Rachel smiled and said, "You need to make an epic recovery first."
"I like the sound of that," Kyle said.
"Me too," Rachel said, "We should practice."
"Practice?" Kyle said.
"For the wedding," Rachel said, "This part in particular." She pulled him into a kiss.
Once they parted, Kyle was about to kiss Rachel again, when she suddenly sat upright and exclaimed, "I just realized something!"
"What?" Kyle said.
"It all makes sense now," Rachel said, "This changes everything!"
"Okay," Kyle said, "I have no idea what you are talking about."
"We have to get in touch with Brittany," Rachel said.
Looking over at Rachel, Ravi noticed she was not paying attention to the work on her computer screen and seemed lost in her own thoughts. Walking over he inquired what was bothering her. Rachel spilled out her story, about Kyle and what was wrong with him and the possible unfortunate outcome. She lost some tears, as Ravi offered encouragement and comforting words to console her.
Rachel left work and arrived home, wanting to be there when Kyle came back. Noticing he had not yet returned, she headed upstairs, stopping halfway by the sound of the doorbell. Turning around she descended the stairs, pausing when she saw who was on the other side.
Opening the door she said, "Kevin."
"Hi," Kevin said.
Rachel was fully prepared to tell him off, confront him with everything she knew, but stopped when she saw Susie, standing beside him.
"Susie," Rachel smiled, "Honey, it's so good to see you."
"Hi Mom," Susie said.
"Can we come in?" Kevin said.
"Of course," Rachel said. She stepped aside closing the door behind them, "This is certainly a surprise."
"We need to talk," Kevin said.
"We sure do," Rachel said, "However, I'm not sure now is the best…" She was cut off by the sound of the doorbell.
"Who is that?" Rachel wondered aloud, "Did you bring Michael here to try to ambush me about custody?"
"It's not Michael," Kevin said.
Rachel pulled the door open, an expression of surprise on her face, when she recognized her visitor. Her surprise turned to frustration and nodding her head, Rachel said, "I knew it."
"Hello Rachel," Chloe said.
"You must be hungry, right?" Rachel smiled at Susie.
Susie nodded. "We didn't have any lunch," she said.
"I know honey," Chloe said, "I'm sorry things took longer than we thought."
"I'll tell you what," Rachel said, "Mrs. Martinez is in the kitchen and I'm sure she would be happy to fix you something, if you ask her to."
"Okay," Susie said, "Are you coming?"
"You go ahead," Rachel said, "I'll be there in a little while."
Rachel watched her daughter leave the room, before she turned to Kevin and Chloe, accusation clear in her tone. "You lied," she said, "You both lied and how dare you teach my daughter to do the same!"
"I was protecting my family," Kevin said.
"You've been living on the run," Rachel said, "How is that protecting them?"
"I was doing the best I could," Kevin said.
"And you went along with this?" Rachel said.
"Like Kevin said, it was for family," Chloe said, "Plus we are a happy family. The girls know they are loved. Of course I realize Susie is not mine, but I love her just like she is my very own."
"Rachel," Kevin said, "I can't help but notice you don't seem too surprised to see Chloe."
"I knew she was alive," Rachel said.
"How?" Kevin said.
"I only found out recently," Rachel said, "It doesn't matter how I found out. What matters is what is going to happen to you."
"I wouldn't go getting any wild ideas about turning us in," Kevin said.
"You are harboring a fugitive, on the run with her, and in a sense you kidnapped my daughter!" Rachel said.
"I know I bent the rules," Kevin said, "If you would stop hurling hostility at us, I can tell you why we are here."
"Why are you here?" Rachel said.
"To say I'm sorry," Kevin said.
Rachel paused before she said, "Excuse me?"
"I want to apologize to you," Kevin said, "For keeping Susie from you, for the unfair and harsh way I treated you. I'm sorry for being so rude to your future husband too."
"Why the change of heart?" Rachel said.
"I always cared about you," Kevin said, "I panicked at the possibility of Susie being around so many people where she could reveal Chloe. I was very surprised to discover you were marrying the young Mr. Abbott, but I should not have been so hostile towards him. I never meant to hurt you."
"Neither did I," Chloe said.
"You are wanted by the police," Rachel said, "If they knew you are alive, you would both go to prison."
"That's why I am imploring you to keep quiet," Chloe said, "Please Rachel. You and I used to be the best of friends. If that ever meant anything to you, then you can't go to the police. Don't let me be separated from Bella. Being with her means the world to me. From a mother to a mother, you know how painful it is to be separated from your child. I'm sorry we did that to you, please don't make it happen to me."
"I don't want to keep you from your daughter," Rachel said, "I also would not wish anyone, even you, to go through what I did at Fairview."
"That's the thought that keeps me up at night," Chloe said.
"You talk about Bella, what about Susie?" Rachel said, "You said you love her too."
"Of course we do," Kevin said, "Which brings us to an offer I have for you."
"Why do suddenly have chills?" Rachel said.
"I want you and I to have joint custody of Susie," Kevin said, "Recent events have made me realize that you and our little girl need each other. I know you are petitioning for full custody, but I won't fight you for sharing custody."
"What did you have in mind?" Rachel said.
"I thought we could leave her here with you for the rest of the summer," Kevin said, "When she starts school in the fall, she would come back and live with us, but we would make arrangements so she gets ample time with you."
"I would like to say yes," Rachel said, "But I don't have any legal right where she is concerned."
"That's where you're wrong," Kevin said, "I spoke to Michael about this and he petitioned the court to have your fitness as a mother legally reinstated. You should be hearing about this from your lawyer soon. You still have six weeks left on your probation, by the time that's over you will have legal rights as Susie's mother. In the meantime, Michael told me as long as it's okay with me, you can keep her for the next little while. It is okay with me."
Rachel eyes welled as she walked to Kevin and hugged him. "Thank you," she said. Tears slipped down her face, as Kevin hugged her back. He became concerned as he noticed her tears were heavier that he would have expected.
Pulling back he said, "Hey, are you okay? This isn't just about Susie is it?"
"It's just…" Rachel stared, "Your timing leaves something to be desired."
"Is something wrong?" Chloe said.
"We had to postpone the wedding," Rachel said, "Kyle is going through something personal and we are working our way through it. It's difficult to watch him try to deal with a situation that's so painful for him."
"But he's going to be okay?" Kevin said.
"Of course," Rachel said, settling her tears, "Kyle and I will be just fine."
"I can't stress enough how important it is you keep our secret," Kevin said, 'You can't say a word to anyone. Not even Kyle."
"No, no," Rachel said, "Kyle and I do not keep secrets from each other."
"The less people that know about this the better," Kevin said, "If you tell Kyle, I'm sure he will have us arrested."
"I can't keep something like this…" Rachel started, stopping when she heard the front door open and Kyle stepped in.
"What is going on here?" Kyle said, "What is he doing back here?"
"Kyle it's okay," Rachel said, "You left with you Dad, where is he?"
"He went back to the office, after dropping me off," Kyle said, "I really want to know what he is doing here."
"Kevin is not here to cause trouble," Rachel said.
"I doubt that…" Kyle trailed off as he noticed Chloe. He stared at her for a few seconds before he said, "I wasn't aware I was going to start hallucinating."
"Hello Kyle," Chloe said, "You are not losing it, I am really here."
"You're alive," Kyle said, "You've been alive this whole time."
"Yes, I have," Chloe said.
"And you," Kyle said addressing Kevin, "You have been covering for her. Harbouring a wanted fugitive. I am calling the police."
As Kyle pulled out his phone, Rachel rushed over and said, "No, Kyle don't."
"She is a wanted criminal," Kyle said.
"Please don't call her that," Kevin said.
"That's what she is," Kyle said.
"You can't turn them in," Rachel said.
"Why not?" Kyle said, his finger poised ready to punch in the number.
"Because it's not right," Rachel said.
"Do you think letting her walk free is right?" Kyle said, "She tried to kill someone."
"Nobody would have missed him," Kevin said.
"I can't believe you are okay with this," Kyle said, looking at Rachel.
"Kevin came here to make amends," Rachel said, "He has apologized for everything and agreed to joint custody with me. I've got my daughter back in my life, it's not fair to separate Chloe from hers."
"Please Kyle," Chloe said, "Don't make my daughter suffer for my mistakes. She needs me."
"I owe you an apology," Kevin said, "For everything I said to you. For insinuating you would not be a suitable father. I am sure you would be. Susie talked about you a lot after our last visit."
"She did?" Kyle said.
"You made quite a good impression on her," Kevin said, "We just want to be together, that's all. Don't break up our family."
Kyle looked around and saw the hope on their faces. "Okay," Kyle sighed, tucking his phone away, "I won't say anything about you."
"Thank you," Chloe said, as she and Kevin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Does that mean you will keep this to yourself as well?" Kevin said.
"I will keep your secret," Rachel said.
Chloe walked over to Rachel and hugged her. "Thank you," Chloe said, "I hope whatever you and Kyle are going through will work itself out."
"Me too," Rachel said.
"Hey, I never got to congratulate you on your engagement," Chloe said, "He really is very handsome, good for you." They shared a smile.
Rachel and Chloe watched from across the room as Kevin walked over to Kyle and offered a handshake. "Truce?" Kevin said.
Kyle accepted, shaking hands with Kevin. "Sure thing," Kyle said.
"Kevin is willing to let Susie spend the rest of the summer with us," Rachel said, "Would you be okay with that?"
"Of course," Kyle said.
"Are you sure?" Rachel said, "With everything that's going on..."
"All things considered, maybe I should spend more time with her," Kyle said, "I like having her around."
"You say that," Kevin said, "Just remember she is a pre-teen. She has her moments. More and more all the time."
Shutting the front door, after Kevin and Chloe left, Kyle said, "I was not expecting that when I came home."
"Neither was I," Rachel said, "But I got my daughter back." She smiled.
"It's nice to see you smile," Kyle said.
"How was your appointment?" Rachel said.
"Okay," Kyle said, "I had couple more minor tests. Doctor will call if they find anything significant. The medication seems to be working to make me feel better, so I am being kept on that. I also found out when I'm having the surgery."
"You have a date?" Rachel said, "When?"
"Two weeks," Kyle said, "From today."
"Okay," Rachel nodded, "That's good. The sooner you get rid of the tumor the better."
"That doesn't mean I'm not still nervous," Kyle said.
"I know," Rachel said, taking his hand, "We have to believe everything is going to be alright." Kyle nodded.
"There is something I wanted to ask you," Kyle said, "I not sure how, but I know you found my painkillers."
"They fell out of your pocket, when I picked up your suit jacket at the coffeehouse," Rachel said.
"But you went to my Dad and told him about it, instead of coming to me," Kyle said, "All you had to do was ask me."
"I tried," Rachel said, "I gave you every opportunity to tell me about them, but you never did. I didn't like going behind your back, but you were hiding them from me. I wasn't even aware you were feeling sick."
"I didn't want you to worry about me," Kyle said.
"It's my job," Rachel said, with a smile.
Kyle smiled back before he said, "I kept hoping it would all go away by itself."
"It's going to go away," Rachel said, latching onto his arm and drawing him into a kiss.
"Kyle!" Susie's exclamation caused them to cut their kiss short. Realizing she had interrupted them she said, "Sorry."
"That's okay," Kyle smiled, "It's nice to see you. I hear you are staying with us."
"I've never stayed in such a big house before," Susie said, "There's even a pool! Can we go swimming?"
"We can," Rachel said, "It will have to be later, we have company coming soon."
"We do?" Kyle said.
"I was about to tell you," Rachel said, "Brittany said she could come by the house to talk about the situation. The other party involved is coming too."
"Great, more of those family members," Kyle sighed.
"I think we should tell Susie what's going on with you," Rachel said, "Since she is going to be living here."
Kyle nodded. "You're right, we should." He smiled at Susie and said, "I want to tell you something. Why don't you come here and sit with me."
"Am I in trouble?" Susie said.
"No, of course not," Kyle said, "There is something very important that you should know. I don't want you to be scared when I tell you this, but I've been sick for awhile. I have something in my head called a tumor. Do you know what that means?"
Susie shook her head. "Well," Kyle said, "It's like a…" He looked at Rachel for help explaining.
"A growth?" Rachel said.
"Right," Kyle said, "This thing has grown on my brain and it makes me not feel well. Have you heard the word cancer before?"
"You have that?" Susie said, "Doesn't that make you really sick?"
"It can," Kyle said, "I have everything under control for now. I do have to have surgery, so the doctors can remove the tumor and hopefully that will make me feel better."
Kyle glanced at Rachel, who smiled, as she nodded at him.
"Mom, is Kyle going to be okay?" Susie said, with panic in her voice.
Going over to her, Rachel said, "Yes, he's going to be fine. Once he has the operation, he will get better. It just might take a long time for him to recover."
"Yeah, you don't have to worry," Kyle said.
Susie reached out and hugged Kyle. "I'm sorry you're sick," she said.
"Thank you," Kyle said, "I'll be okay."
The sound of the doorbell, sent Rachel to answer the door.
Opening it, she found Fen on the other side. "Hi," Rachel said.
"My Dad said we were meeting here," Fen said.
"Come in," Rachel said. Shutting the door, Rachel said, "You're the first to arrive."
"Great," Fen said. Spotting Kyle, he said, "Hey."
"Hi," Kyle said. Noticing Susie, Fen said, "Is that...?"
"She's my daughter," Rachel said. Rachel looked from Susie to Fen and said, "You two have never met, have you?"
Fen and Susie both shook their heads. "Susie, come here," Rachel said, "This is Fen Baldwin, your cousin. Fen meet your cousin Susie."
"Cousin?" Fen said, "I guess I never thought of that."
"I know," Rachel said.
"Hi," Fen said, "It's nice to finally meet you."
"Hi," Susie smiled, tucking her hair behind her ear, "Do you live here too?"
"Me?" Fen laughed, "No, not here."
"No, he lives with his mommy and daddy," Kyle said.
"For now," Fen said, "I'm thinking of getting my own place."
"You could live here," Susie offered.
"Susie…" Rachel said.
"They have so many rooms here and there's a pool too," Susie said.
Fen nodded. "Something to consider," he said.
"Susie, you don't just ask someone to move in like that," Rachel said.
"Might be fun," Fen said.
"For who?" Kyle said.
"Susie, let's go upstairs and get you settled in your room," Rachel said.
"Okay," Susie said.
"See you," Fen said. With a smile, Susie giggled.
As they walked upstairs, Kyle said, "I think she likes you."
"I'm a likeable guy," Fen said.
"Says you," Kyle said.
Silence fell between them, as Fen sat across from Kyle. Looking around, Fen said, "I like what you've done with the place."
"I didn't do it," Kyle said, rubbing his forehead.
Noticing Kyle wince, Fen said, "Dude, you okay?"
"Peachy," Kyle said, standing up. Fen watched as Kyle walked over and poured himself a glass of water. Fen noticed the prescription bottle as Kyle took some tablets.
"What are those?" Fen said, stepping closer.
"None of your business," Kyle said.
"There's something wrong if you're taking prescription medication," Fen said.
"Drop it," Kyle said.
The sound of the doorbell, prevented the conversation from progressing any further. Kyle opened the door and Brittany and Michael stepped inside. "Thank you for coming," Kyle said.
"Of course," Brittany said, "How are you?"
"I'm here," Kyle said.
"I see everyone has arrived," Rachel said, coming down the stairs.
"I must admit I'm curious," Michael said, "Why you insisted we meet all the way out here."
"It's better for my client," Brittany said.
"By all means, let's keep Kyle happy," Fen said.
"You can stop," Rachel said.
"Why don't we get to the heart of the matter," Michael said, "What is on your mind?"
"About the assault case," Brittany said, "There's been a new development."
"Such as?" Michael said.
"I'm sick," Kyle blurted out.
"You can say that again," Fen said. This time it was Michael who put his hand up, signalling Fen to stop.
"What are you trying to say?" Michael said.
Kyle looked at Brittany, who nodded. "I…" Kyle started, "I have a brain tumor." Michael and Fen stared at him in surprise. "It's cancer," Kyle said.
"For real?" Fen said.
"Yeah," Kyle sighed.
"We have a medical professional who will attest that Kyle not only has this disease, but also the fact that the tumor can cause personality changes," Brittany said, "It can cause the patient to act out in an overly aggressive manner. We believe this was the case with the altercation between my client and Mr. Baldwin."
"You are saying this illness caused Kyle to attack my son?" Michael said.
"I have admitted, that I got angry and I shoved him," Kyle said, "That's on me. But the rest is all a blur. I swear I did not realize what I was doing. It was like couldn't control myself."
"In light of these facts, I am asking opposing council to respectfully drop the charges," Brittany said.
"I am sorry to hear of your misfortune," Michael said, "I've been there, I know what a shock this must be." Michael looked over at Fen, who nodded at him. "Consider the charges dropped."
Kyle and Rachel breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you," Kyle said.
Standing up Michael said, "I will forward you the appropriate paperwork."
"Of course," Brittany said.
Michael stepped closer to Kyle, saying, "I know how difficult this is for you. I understand everything you must be feeling. Don't give up, keep fighting. I wish you the best of luck."
Michael offered Kyle a handshake, which Kyle accepted, saying, "Thanks."
"Kevin told me what you did for me, reinstating my parental legal rights," Rachel said, "Thank you."
"As long as everyone is happy," Michael said.
"I will be in touch," Brittany said, "Good luck."
"After you," Michael said, as he and Brittany left the house together.
Fen was standing cautiously eyeing Kyle, prompting Kyle to say, "Did you lose something?"
"What?" Fen said.
"Why are you still standing there?" Kyle said.
"Nothing, I just…" Fen said, "I'm sorry."
"I apologize for what happened too," Kyle said.
"No, I mean I'm sorry…you have this thing," Fen said.
"It's called a tumor," Kyle said.
"Yeah," Fen said.
He was still hesitating, so Rachel said, "Is there something else?"
"You…of course you're going to be okay," Fen said.
"I don't know," Kyle said.
"You don't mean…" Fen said "You could…" Fen was too flustered to continue.
"We hope for the best," Rachel said.
"What is anyone doing to help you?" Fen said.
"I'm having surgery in two weeks," Kyle said.
"Fen, it's okay," Rachel said.
"No, it's not okay," Fen said, "This isn't supposed to happen to someone like you."
"Like me?" Kyle said.
"So young," Fen said.
"I wish that were true," Kyle said.
Fen headed for the door with a sigh. Turning back he said, "Listen, you and I might not get along, but if I can do anything to help, you can ask me."
"Thanks," Kyle said.
"Like if you need someone to drive you somewhere or do something for you…" Fen was visibly troubled by Kyle's admission of his condition.
"I get it," Kyle said.
Facing Kyle, Fen held out his hand saying, "I really hope you are going to be okay."
"You and me both," Kyle said, accepting the handshake.
Fen moved closer, to give Kyle a quick one arm hug, with a pat on the back, before making a hasty retreat.
