Scott gives Katie a little nod and watches her leave, suddenly alone in the silence once again. After a few moments, he lies down, letting his head sink into the pillow, and curling up on his side. Tears wanted to come, but he didn't let them. It would be fine...he would be fine... it was all just one big nightmare.

Closing his eyes tight, he tries to sleep, but it's hard, once Rick and Misty return and are working in the infirmary.


Jason rests his elbows on his desk and is staring off into space when he knows Katie is nearing his office.
Yeah, it's open, come on in.

He doesn't look up as she enters, his mind still a million miles away. And he'd thought things would finally settle down. They never did.
Eventually, he looks up to see Katie's face, and straightens to lean back in his chair. "I wish there was something I could do for Scott...there's so much he's lost. Last I knew, his house was about empty...he's got no car... and even his job is in question."

He shakes his head, and lets a pause linger. Finally though, he can't keep a lid on the question any longer.
Now that Scott is back...does it...change anything......

Jason's eyes search Katie's.
...between us?


Reese is a little surprised at Angelica's enthusiasm and her arm through his, but he doesn't resist. "Well alrighty then." Already there is a lighter tone to his voice. "We shall go wallow. I haven't been on a wallowing binge in years, and I think the greek restaurant downtown is the perfect place for that."

He leads Angelica back to his office where he can grab his own jacket and car keys before heading back out. "Susanne, I'm going out for lunch I'll be back when I'm done wallowing."

Susanne looks up in confusion. "Sorry?"

"Wallowing." Reese gives a firm nod. "Trust me, it's not a pretty sight. You don't want to join us."

Susanne quirks an eyebrow. "Sounds like an excuse for a date."

Reese simply shrugs. "Could be. But then you wouldn't blame me, now would you?"

Susanne throws him a smirk, and gives Angelica a knowing look. "While you're out, get this guy some help, would you?"
