Ring?

Carson gives Misty a little smile and puts an arm around her. “Well I reckon with all the stupid things I’ve done, you deserve a little spoiling.”

He stands up to head for the hall. “I need to go home in a while…clean some things up…go do laundry.” He pauses and turns back around, realizing Misty is probably leery of that reasoning. He winks at her. “You can come keep me company if you want.”


Jason quirks an eyebrow at Katie and pauses his route. “Help isn’t always going to be around,” he counters. “I better learn to get around on my own, hadn’t I?” He shakes his head. “I almost got away with it this time, eh?”

Sighing, he relents, and puts some of his weight on Katie, gingerly limping to the break room. “Just don’t tell Rick…he’d have a cow. With him all it’s been is ‘do these exercises, do this do that, but don’t get out of bed!’” Jason rolls his eyes. “He ought to lay there for a couple days then he’d know what a torture it is.”

Reaching the break room, Jason eases down in a chair, too weary to get his orange juice yet. “Oh well…as long as I get back in bed within half an…” Suddenly his voice trails off as his eye catches Katie’s left hand. Before he can stop it, he knows his face shows surprise and he glances up to Katie’s face with question.


Mick takes a deep breath and stretches, feeling the bed move and Rosetta’s kiss, but not awake enough yet to open his eyes. Rolling over onto his back, he yawns and finally looks groggily around the room, blinking in the dim morning light.

Getting his bearings, he realizes Rosetta is up, and BJ is still sleeping. Reaching over, he runs a hand through BJ’s hair for a moment before sliding out from under the covers to get up. Throwing on a pair of jeans, he takes just a moment to brush his teeth and run some water over his face before heading to the kitchen.

Seeing Rosetta fixing breakfast, he just watches her for a few minutes, a small smile at the corners of his mouth. Finally he comes up behind her at the stove and puts his arms around her under her chin and kisses her head. “Morning, you.”
