[That stops him with a jarring jump of his pulse; he hadn't made the connection with the names, had been too distracted with his own shit to notice the arrival and make the connection. Hadn't had time to check in or be checked in with all his friends, between juggling Doyle and again, his own shit.
Christ. He's still angry when he starts walking again, but there's a different flavor to it now, the target shifted. Maybe he's not as sorry as he was, and maybe it's best that he has permission to g back and find Doyle again now.
