Dale tries to not overthink as he drives past Paper District, the only thing in his mind is Dream's safety.
His mom has been calling non-stop and he's never imagined that it would be this easy to ignore her.
Although he knows that he's the last person the feisty Omega would probably want to see but that doesn't dampen his need to see the other.
He's not sure what he expects to see when he gets to the Pack Houses but is relieved to see that there's no upset and everywhere looks relatively normal.
He quickly parks his car and steps out, tie undone and black hair ruffled from the number of times that his hands had gone through the strands in worry.
He throws his jacket over his shoulder, top buttons on his dress shirt undone, knowing that if he didn't carry his jacket along he was most likely to forget it.
He starts heading for the Crimson Pack but barely makes it halfway across the parking lot when his mom hurries in his direction.
