[ Mercy and Royce sleep for a while. Royce dozes lightly, but Mercy keeps waking up. And when Alfie leaves, she notices immediately. She starts to get up to follow him, but Royce mutters something and holds her close. Don't go yet. Let him settle.
She protests at first, but... lets it be. For a while.
Royce dozes off again, until Mercy kisses him on the cheek and tells him she's going to go sit with Alfie. Royce agrees sleepily, and Mercy slides out of the car to go around to the trunk, watching Alfie with a sad sort of expression.
She scoots closer, and then rests her head against his arm, looking up at him. ]
