@coeurdefoudre sent -> [ secret ] making sure no one sees, wyatt secretly takes lachlan's hand under a table and laces their fingers
lachlan's a hardened man who's seen (and done) a lot of horrific, questionable shit. how he's wound up as the bodyguard to a little popstar is beyond him, but the pay is good, and he's found he doesn't mind her company, either.
he's been a comfort to her, a bright spot on her dark days -- the one who knows when her smiles are genuine and when they aren't. so, it shouldn't come as a surprise to him when she reaches out under the table and grabs his hand, lacing their fingers together like they've done this a million times and not the handful of times he's tried to be a comfort to her.
he doesn't let on that it's happened, just squeezes her hand under the table and waits for a break in her other conversation to look at her, "are you alright?" he asks, his voice quiet as he searches her face. no one else needs to know if she's not.
