"Nah...it's nothin'." The fellow's attempt at a convincingly dismissive response fails, and he must be aware of it since, after a beat of silence, he gives in and elaborates. "It's jus' that... I think Doc would a' liked this." Truthfully, he isn't entirely sure if the man would have cared much for the meet-and-greet (although the gravy, sure!); the reality of the situation is that Mac has been separated from a man whom is far more than his trainer for over two months, and the ache has yet to fade... nor does he want it to, however. Because to feel nothing would be to forget Doc, and that couldn't happen.
