Tatum didn't return for the rest of that night.

Leila stares outside the car window as she makes her way to Tatum's father's house, seeing a bunch of kids engaged in a fierce water gun fight and she smiles as a distant memory comes to her mind of her and Tatum always being a team at this sport when they were younger.
