TVLine: “One of my favorite scenes from last season was when Sarah comes into the club to rescue Paul, and you leaned your head into her. It was such a lovely, quiet moment. Was that scripted?”

It had been nigh on six months since she had seen him at her last permanent address, and this time, she’d been hoping he wouldn’t come for her. It would be easier for him if they were apart, she figured, if not for her - and she could manage - she had always been the strong one. 

But she’d run lickety-split to the front porch whenever she’d hear the slap of the screen door, and this time it really was him. She’d imagined herself leaning against the arch of the door with a pout and telling him how hard he was to quit, damn his hide. But she could only press herself wordlessly against him as he took her into his arms and stroked the back of her head with a gentleness she knew she could never turn away - not for his sake or her own.
