Joey sat down across from Damon, a warm smile on his face.
Damon had called him right after his training session the day he arrived in LA, and they had made plans to meet up. They had a lot to catch up on.
Damon looked Joey up and down, taking in his new appearance. "Talk about change, you've changed, Joey. You look... different."
Joey chuckled, His eyes creased at the corners. "Yeah, I guess you could say that. My brother's been taking care of me, and I've been studying hard. I'm planning to enroll in college next year, so I've been hitting the books."
Damon nodded, impressed. "That's great,"
Joey leaned in, his eyes sparkling with interest. "So, how have things been? Did the event go well?"
Damon's face lit up with pride. "It was amazing, Joey. I wouldn't be in LA if it hadn't. Let me tell you all about it."
Damon launched into a detailed account of his time in Stockton after Joey had left.
