Glad?

Scott had been coworkers with Jason since he'd worked at TJY...he'd call Jason his friend. He was so glad that Jason was out of prison and back home where he belonged now - he hadn't deserved to be behind bars in the first place, and TJY needed him back on their team. Jason had been missed, and Scott had felt for him.

...But...hearing the tone of Katie's voice now, Scott couldn't help but give a little less than all his concentration to feeling positive about this change in events. He lets it slide though...for Katie.

"Oh, ha, me? Eh, you know - good as always. Sliced my finger open on the can opener - that's about as exciting as things got today, other than the news of Jason. And...fun?" He thinks as he turns his car down his street. "Not unless you count Nate putting mouse traps in every corner of the building and hearing people set them off on accident." He laughs a little.

As his house comes into view, he brings the call to an end. "Well, I'm home now and Domino will be waiting. I guess I'll see you around. Have a good night."


Smelling Laura's cooking, Jason can't help but give in and eat some spaghetti. Interacting with Laura and Katie seems more difficult than he thought for some reason. He hates his own awkwardness, but finds little that will help.

As the evening wears on, Jason becomes more weary, and Laura finally calls Con to come pick him up. A warm greeting of friends is exchanged when Con arrives, and after a brief time together, Con and Jason leave.

Laura watches the car disappear down the street, then shuts the door, giving a little sight. "Well, Katie... are you glad you man is home?"
