A man's pride

Jayce gazed upon the big man who had yet to even notice his presence and let out a deep sigh. Colin was even worse than him when it came to bottling up negative emotions and placing the burden upon his own shoulders.

Perhaps this was the reason why he got along so well with him. Or perhaps they were both just big dumb idiots who were too proud to reach out for help when they really needed it.

He looked around only to find Jackie who was not far away, making sure that her man did not overexert himself. She looked a few parts worried and the rest annoyed.

Jayce held back a chuckle as he had seen the same expression on Lianna's face not even a few minutes ago.

'We really have some good women by our side.' He mused inwardly.

As if sensing his presence, Jackie turned in his direction. Her face lit up for a moment before she wordlessly pointed at Colin, as if gesturing to take care of the big problem child.
