Free time?

Gunner heaves a long sigh, swallowing hard, and just remaining quiet for what seems a long while. He knew Bree was right. He'd just been feeling so good, that he'd thought it would be over. But one stupid nightmare had set him back, sending his emotions plummeting all over again.

Just leaning on Bree, finally, finally his body begins to calm from the brief trauma. His muscles begin to relax and his head falls a little heavier on Bree's shoulder.

"Thank you, Bree," he mumbles. "Someday... someday I'll repay you."

Still sitting on the floor, it's another quiet moment once again. "Bree?" With his emotional state came a lack of judgment or appropriateness. "Can you stay?"


Jade listens intently to Dan, enjoying learning a bit about him. Working on her own food, she swallows a bite, then gives a little chuckle. "Free time? You're lucky. One thing that made me mad all these years was my grandmother's insistence that I keep busy." She shakes her head.

Sipping her water, she cocks her head. "So how did you rate, getting all that time to read? Or are you a closet bookworm?"
