Laura purses her lips grimly at Katie’s statement, hoping she wasn’t right. When Katie leaves the room a short time later, Laura looks after her with a little bit of worry. What was that all about? She turns back to Jason. “How about you? Hungry?”

“Yeah, but last time I ate today it didn’t end well. Got any Advil though? I got a killer headache.”

“Sure.” Laura goes to the bathroom medicine cabinet, coming back out with the small bottle. She looks at Wyatt. “How about you? …That is, food, not Advil.”

Wyatt grins and shakes his head. “Guess we’re all okay at the moment. Thanks though.” His eyes linger on the sliding doors and finally he excuses himself.


Jason swallows the pills with a glass of water and returns to the living room, finding Laura looking at her wall of photographs. He joins her quietly, staring at all of the memories.

“We had some good times didn’t we?” Laura muses.

“Yeah…” Jason reaches out to finger one of the pictures. “Seems like a lifetime ago.”

“I know it…”


Wyatt slips outside and slowly eases down next to Katie, allowing her space, but making himself available. “Anything I can do for you?”
