Carson chuckles and gives Misty a squeeze, not really wanting her to leave either. Shifting his weight so he's lying on his back, he gives a tired sigh, his interest in the movie dwindling due to his weariness. "Let me know how it ends."

He lets her lay on his chest, one hand resting on her head as his eyes drift shut. It was just as well if she wanted to stay there with him... Ever since they'd settled down in the living room, he'd had a strange feeling as if someone was watching them, and it was enough to put him on edge. For now, he was content to know Misty was safe and as long as she was with him, he knew it.


Scott grins and stands up again. "As long as it's you by my side, I'd love to go for a walk."

Paying for the meal and heading outside, it's just a short walk to get down on the beach. They walk hand-in-hand for a while, letting the silence be their friend.

As the sun begins to sink below the horizon, the drifting clouds take on the brilliant colors of red, purple and orange, soaking in the last bit of light until morning.

Scott stops and turns to it, bringing Katie closer to put his arm around her shoulders. He had questions...he wondered about her thoughts, but remained quiet. It was only natural that she would need time to think about his proposition, and he would respect the time she needed. It was a big decision, he knew. For him, it was almost a no-brainer. He'd spent so long as the lowly, resident nerd, that actually being a head of a tech department almost made his mouth water. He could only hope that his relationship with Katie was such that she would want to follow. If it wasn't, he certainly wouldn't give up on it, but it would be harder with that much distance between them.

Turning, he plants a kiss on the top of her head, giving her a little squeeze. He couldn't feel more content than now in this moment.


"I am not brushing you off!" Jason exclaims, laughter held back in his throat. He holds the phone to his ear, carrying on the conversation while watching tv at the same time. "I said maybe."

"Oh, come on. How could you turn down a end-of-the-summer bash?" Camryn persuades. "It'll be fun."

"I didn't say it wouldn't be. But it's a Mitts family thing."

"They're hosting it, sure, but like Kyle put it - who cares? Invite all the friends you know. The more the merrier."

"Sounds scary."

"Oh, stop it," Camryn chides. "I bet they'd love for folks from TJY to come down too. Come on...say yes you'll go."

Jason quirks a grin even though she can't see him. "I'll check my calendar."

"Last I looked you didn't even have on in the house."

"I'll go buy one."

"You are THE most difficult person..."

"Yep."

Camryn sighs with emphasis. "Alright, fine. Think about it. But you know that if you say no, the guys are going to bug you ten times worse than me."

"I didn't even know that was possible."

"Jerk."

"Whiner."

Camryn giggles. "I haven't given this up yet."

Jason nods, flipping tv channels. "Of that I have no doubt."

"You realize I know good and well you like all this arguing."

Jason pauses, his wry grin spreading. "Maybe."


Con rolls over in bed, thinking he might have heard something. Sure enough, his cell phone was going off. Frowning, he sits up and grabs the phone. He'd already been in bed for an hour - who would be calling at this time? "Hello?" He lifts an eyebrow. "Bret... Yes... Oh, fine. Jamie and I are having a blast. Mm-hmm...yes..." Con's face falls. "Oh no..." He swallows hard. "When...okay. Yeah...you alright? ....Okay. Yeah. Thanks, Bret. We'll see you soon."
