Grow up

Accepting Faith's hand, Sparky interlocks his fingers with hers, giving them a squeeze. The kiss to the cheek came as a surprise though and his eyebrows rise, a quirky grin coming to his face, along with a twinkle in his eye. "Say now... I could get used to this."

Chuckling, he shakes his head and starts for the exit. Instead of continuing with his hand in hers though, tonight he dares to release her fingers and slip his arm around her shoulders instead.

Once to the dining room, he lets her walk in first, holding the door, then spying a couple chairs by Jim and Becky. Wes and Cindy were visiting tonight as well.

Heading to the table, Sparky eases down next to Faith, nodding to Wes and Cindy. "Hey, you two." His eyes have a teasing glint in them tonight. "What's the occasion?"

Cindy laughs. "Oh, you know me... sometimes I just get so bored with my hubby that I have to come and socialize." Turning to Wes, she grins and hugs his arm, knowing that he knew good and well she was teasing. They both came down to eat with everyone at least once a week just to be with the family.

Sparky chuckles and leans his elbows on the table, looking around to see all who was there. "Yeah well... you knew you picked the boring brother of the family when you married him."

Cindy's jaw drops in mock surprise. It was rare to see Sparky in such a teasing mood, but she played right along. "I can't believe you'd say that about your own brother."

"What? It's true." Sparky reaches for a glass of water. "Always hanging out under a car all day... that toolbox was his best friend before you came along. It was really quite sad."

Cindy almost dies laughing. Looking across to Faith, she rolls her eyes. "These boys will never grow up."


JT watches Angel closely, even though he trusts her. He doesn't want to leave the room, and almost has to be pried away, but he follows Rosetta anyway, walking with her and Amanda back into the other room. Instead of socializing right away though, they pick a quiet table in the corner. There were others here that JT would love to see again, but right now there were more important things at hand.

Getting settled down, JT knows he's running on pure adrenaline. He was so tired. But he needed to give Rosetta the whole story.

With a little bit of food and a few hellos to others who spotted them, JT explains the whole story to Rosetta, not leaving out the fact that they were pretty much fugitives and if any police came around, they would need to hide.

"I know this puts you and the ranch in a bad position... so if you'd rather us move on, I'll respect that and you can pretend we were never here." Oh, but his eyes begged her to let them stay. Not for him, but for Bree.

His gaze glances to Amanda, then back to Rosetta, not knowing what would happen now.
