Oops

For just a moment, both guys are unsure how to react with Katie entering into their antics, but it doesn’t take but an instant for them to start up again.

Scott leans forward with anticipation, a look of challenge on his face towards Wyatt.

Wyatt downs the rest of his pop in one gulp and slams the empty can down on the table. He sits in silence for several moments, seeming to be deep in thought. He cocks his head a little bit and Scott starts to snicker.


Susanne looks a the report in her hand as she meanders down the hallway towards the break room. Turning through the doorway, she stops. “Hey, Wyatt, would you…”

Too late, she’s interrupted by a thundering belch.

Scott bursts out laughing as he leans back in his chair, holding his aching sides.

Wyatt’s head whips around as his face reddens at Susanne. “Um…yes?”

Susanne rolls her eyes in disgust. “You guys…..” She smirks at Wyatt. “I need you to come look at these records as soon as you’re done….making a fool out of yourself.”

“I’m on my way!” Wyatt quickly clears his place at the table, avoiding his embarrassment. “Right behind you, Susanne…” He throws a grimace to Katie and Scott before making a clean exit.

Scott is finally able to bring his laughing under control, and sighs deeply, still grinning. “Well…that was fun.”


Laura jumps as Nate comes up behind her, and whirls around, smacking right into his chest. “Oh, Nate!” Her eyes go wide and it takes her a moment to regain some composure. Her face starts to redden as a laugh makes it’s way to the surface.

Within moments, she’s outright laughing, tears coming to her eyes. “Oh…Nate, you…” She keeps laughing. “The look on your face…” She manages to point to the desk. “I’m sorry…it was just a…” She has to stop as more laughter comes. “Just a mouse.”


Con chuckles as Jamie takes his phone. “Alright. No interruptions.”

The afternoon is peaceful with a relaxing lunch and hanging out at the mall until a movie plays. After supper, Con and Jamie head to the park as the sun is setting. Though getting dark, the path is lit with glowing lights, making it an enjoyable stroll.

Finding a bench after a while, Con sits down and pulls Jamie down next to him, slinging an arm around her shoulder. “Thanks for a wonderful day,” he says quietly. His hand moves to run his fingers through her soft hair. “I know I’ve been miserable lately with my job and all…thanks for putting up with me anyway.”

He’s quiet for a moment, then reaches into his pocket. He moves his arm back from around Jamie, and takes her hand. Without saying anything, he sets a delicate gold bracelet around her wrist, fastening it gently despite his big hands. “For you and all the worry I put you through.”
