Anytime

Scott hears the knock at his door and calls out that it's fine to enter. He keeps his eyes on his computer screen for several moments, but when he turns his head, his eyes land on Katie. He can't help the slight surprise that passes over his face. He hadn't expected her to come. It seemed like forever since they'd actually talked, and the awkwardness hung thick in the air.

He searches Katie's eyes for a moment before leaning back in his chair and removing his glasses to rub his tired eyes. He'd gotten used to being alone...but he wouldn't tell Katie to leave.

His eyes drift back down to his desk, but he speaks anyway. "Yeah, I got a few minutes." He gestures to an empty chair, signaling that he's okay with it if she wants to sit or stand.


Jason just holds Misty until her tears stop. He was surprised he didn't feel that awkward about it...he and Misty were good friends but they'd never been all that close. Perhaps it was simply learning how to comfort Katie that gave him the ability to do it now.

He chuckles softly at her comment, and looks down at the spot on his shirt. "That's okay. I don't mind." He cocks his head so he can see Misty's eyes. "I'm going to let you work if you want, or I'm sure you can go home too. But you know my number, alright? Anytime, and I mean it."
