Why does he care Not at all .

Thank you .

Harley .

Youre welcome , Harley replied .

Though hed offered to pick them up , his true motive was simple he couldnt wait to see Noelle again .

If theres nothing else , Ill hang up now , Harley added .

Alright , Harley .

Bye As Leia ended the call , her heart danced with excitement .

All her previous worries about reconnecting with Harley after his return had evaporated .

He had reached out to her first ! Could it be that Harleys been thinking about me all these years too ? Leia wondered , her thoughts swirling with hope .

After all , he hadnt called anyone else , just her .

The idea sent her spirits soaring .

Even the fact that Noelle was coming along didnt seem like a big deal anymore .

Shes only coming because Harley invited me first , Leia reassured herself .

Without me , she wouldnt even be on his radar .

Huh ? Eli ? Noelle greeted him cheerfully , entirely oblivious to his sour mood .

She walked over with a bright smile and waved .
