Will caught the intention in Sabine's pause immediately, not a falter in her speech but rather a hint to him, an unspoken nod to the conversation she and Will had shared the day they'd met. This man was important to Sabine, though not the soulmate Sabine had mentioned, the one with whom she shared a bond like the one Will and Molly possessed. Still, the body language was clear: Scott and Sabine were close, possibly even more attached to each other than either was allowing themselves to recognize.

The kiss, after the introduction, was unexpected but Will didn't back away as was his instinct whenever anyone who wasn't Molly got close to him. Instead he felt a calm descend as Sabine leaned close and barely brushed her lips against his cheek, the true reason coming as she whispered reassurance and understanding into his ear. He nodded minutely when she drew away, their eyes meeting and Will's comprehension and gratitude passing between them.

"It's nice to meet you, Scott," Will said once he'd broken eye contact with Sabine. "A dear friend of Sabine's is definitely someone I'm glad to meet."
