Con keeps a close eye on Katie as she comes with him to the truck, and he gives Jame an apologetic wave. He would call her later and figure out what they'd do that evening.
Getting in the truck and pulling out onto the street, Con reaches a hand over to give Katie's shoulder a squeeze. He hadn't heard what she'd said, but could feel her hurt, and hurt for her. "It's okay, little Sis... it'll all work out."
The ride back to Katie and Laura's is quiet. Laura's car is gone and Con assumes she's either working late or out with Nate. Either way, he wanted to do whatever Katie felt most comfortable with.
Pulling into the drive, he stops and turns to her. "I know everything is confusing right now," he tries to comfort. "And I'm here for you if you want it. I can go in with you, or if you need your own space, that's fine too."
Jason stands and watches his two best friends leave the restaurant. He gives Jamie a helpless glance, wishing his emotions weren't so hard to control right now. The last thing he wanted to do was break down here.
Gritting his teeth, he eases back down in the booth, not knowing what to do. Feeling a hand on his, he looks over quickly at Camryn who is offering him a look of sympathy. He takes her hand in both of his and rests his forehead on it for a moment, just trying to regroup. "Can we leave?"
"Yeah." Camryn nods.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay." She rises and pulls Jason up. "Take me home and we can spend time there instead alright?"
"Okay."
