Mall

Mick grins as he sees Rosetta get up and walk around. “Ya know, when my horse would get that way, I’d take her in the roundring and make her run circles…”

Jason hesitates a moment, then takes Katie’s phone. Dialing, he waits. “Yeah, hey, Adam….this is Jason…”

After quick arrangements with Austin, and Adam’s agreement to swing by, Jason cleans up and changes his clothes, throwing a flannel shirt over his white tee. It’s not much later, when Adam comes with his truck, and waits for both Jason and Katie. The ride is fairly quiet with some small talk initiated by Adam, with no deep subjects brought up. All three know good and well why they’re going to the mall, but no one feels the need to speak of it.

Entering the parking lot, Jason begins to tense, wondering if this was such a good idea.
