Honey steps in to Mike’s greeting, steady smile already in place after he says he saw her “smiling from the window.” He takes her purse, points her to a seat, reminds her about shoes by the door, and tells her they even toasted to her at dinner the night before. She answers with easy yeses, ready to “help,” and agrees to let Kaby pick up the camera just like previous times. Kaby moves close and keeps her focus, guiding her with short prompts and praise. Honey answers in short, warm replies and soft laughs, steady under attention and clearly comfortable being seen. The back-and-forth stays playful, her name floating between them, and she keeps meeting their eyes and their requests without hesitation. Mike circles back for a quiet check-in. He asks how it went and gets a satisfied, grateful answer. He sends Kaby to call Jonte at Van Nuys Airport and has Honey sit on the couch for a private word; she agrees, says she can “head in that direction,” and the moment winds down with that simple, open yes.
