“ Travel toget’er? Well, I’m definitely takin’ navigation, Zayn. I’ve watched t’at Ride Along – we’re not missin’ an exit t’ree times! ” she teased, prodding him in the chest with her finger. Still, she couldn’t keep the smile from her face at the idea of him being here. “ I t’ink maybe you and me against Carmella and her little weasel would work quite well in our favor…..I really am glad you’re here. ”

   ^{there is, at first, a playful FROWN on his features caused by her teasing but it didn’t take too long to turn into a smile      he was way too ecstatic to keep up the act for a while. though, he was a little embarrassed.        ❝          ah, c’mon ! don’t be like that !        ❞      his free hands shot out, grasping her arm and tugging her forward, enveloping her in a crushing bear hug. he squeezed her before snatching her off the ground and spinning her in a circle, his face split into one of his trademark grins that seemed–impossibly so–100% more potent in terms of how infectious it was. releasing her, he nodded enthusiastically at the suggestion.     ❝      yeah, i heard they’ve been givin’ you a hard time as of late. i got your back. no worries.      ❞      he was so close to pulling her into another hug, just barely restraining himself from doing so.        ❝      and I’m glad to be here too ! everything’s feel fresh, y’know ?  this is exactly what I needed !      ❞}
