Part of Gunner wanted to remember the night before, while part of him wanted to forget it all together. But he knew Bree was right... he did remember her showing up... before the nightmare had disappeared. Coincidence?
He takes another bite of his breakfast sandwich, still trying to get his mind to think straight. There was still so much that was foggy and lethargic.
"Um... I don't... I don't understand what you're... doing here. I mean..." He squints one eye, not sure if he was choosing the right words or not. "Last night... this morning... "
Catching sight of the moving nurse out of the corner of his eye, he immediately bristles. He tries to stay quiet though, attempting to follow Bree's advice in the hopes that it would at least postpone his next dosage. "Why? Or... what... why are you here?"
Clint falls hard on his bottom, letting out a wail as Wendy sends him to the floor. "Not fair!"
Jason tries not to laugh as the women take over the situation, and he tries to guard himself against Katie's tickling. "Oh no... no, no no!" He blocks Katie's tickling, but fails a couple times, flinching under her fingers. "No!" Laughter mixes in as he squirms until he's finally on his feet again. Grabbing Katie from behind, he holds her arms tight.
"Got you now." Leaning over her shoulder, he gives her cheek a kiss.
I rather like it this way.
Clint scrambles to get to his feet as well, laughing as he pulls Wendy to the lane. "You're up, you smarty pants, you. Why don't you show us how wonderful you are at knocking down pins instead of your husband?"
Being picked up and slung over Dan's shoulder, Jade shrieks. "Help! Dan, you turkey! Somebody help me!"
Jason has Katie locked, and glances over to Dan, laughing. "Well, looks like you're gonna have to make up your own mind what to do with her!"
"Jason!" Jade retorts. "Help me!"
"Sorry... I got my own hands full. Why don't you ask your cousin?"
"Nope, sorry." Clint still had a hold on Wendy, giving her the bowling ball. "Busy."
Jade's face was getting red from laughing and being upside down. "A fine bunch you are!" She kicks a little. "Dan Palmer, put me down! Or I'll hold you to that kiss attack!"
