Jason quirks an eyebrow as the strange vibe continues to bother him. Something was wrong... something wasn't right...Katie was really on edge.
He glances back to Scott, then back to Katie again. "Uh... no...he hasn't given me anything yet. Said to settle in for a few days. Guess I need it...I feel like a fish out of water around here."
Scott takes a bite of his food, thinking. "I guess it wouldn't be easy, huh...lot changed around here?"
"Some..." Jason takes a swig of his pop. "...People...things...it'll take me a while to get back in the swing of things." He gives Katie a sidelong glance. "At least I got someone to help me out."
Scott sees the glance, and decides he really doesn't want the rest of his food. "Well, you need something, give a holler." He stands up and throws away his leftovers. Exiting the breakroom, he gives Katie's shoulder a pat. "See you later."
Jason eyes the gesture warily. There was that feeling threatened again. What was going on? He was sure he was imagining things...he didn't understand what was going through his own mind anymore. He did feel like a fish out of water, and it had only been half a day.
Wyatt returns Aerith's smile as she brings him his lunch. "Thanks."
It doesn't take him too long to go through his pizza and is soon glancing at his watch, knowing it's time to get back to work. Rising, he tosses a nice tip on the table and prepares to leave.
Cindy is confused, but does as she's told, completely in the dark. As Wes helps her out of the truck, her confusion increases. But when she's told to open her eyes, her mouth drops open. Tears spring into her eyes. "Oh, Wes," she breathes.
For a moment she can't take her eyes off of the beautiful house. It was her dream come true. She'd waited so very very long, dreaming this dream, and now...it was a reality. "It's perfect..."
Turning her face to Wes, she wraps her arms around his neck and gives him a passionate kiss, then just hugs him tight. "I can't believe it's really real. You've done so much...so much I don't even deserve.... 'Thank you' just doesn't seem enough."
Cindy can't help but turn her head again to make sure the house wasn't her imagination. It was still there...as pretty as ever... even prettier than she'd imagined.
