Sure we did

Watching his niece walk away, JT turns and sinks down into a chair in the bedroom. Leaning his elbows on his knees, he bends to put his face in his hands. He'd known this whole thing wouldn't be easy, but he didn't know it would be this emotionally hard. He was glad Amanda was there, he was glad they'd made it to the ranch, but would they really be able to win? He could only hope and pray.


David smiles and sits up straight too quickly, sending several pens and papers flying as he hits his desk. "I'm already on my way. Name the place and time and I'll be there with bells on."

Ready with notepad in hand, he waits for Angelica's instructions.


"It's not our fault you got the easy car!" Jed hollers at Ryan.

Miles' responds is a resounding clang of a tool being dropped. "We just wanted to be nice and let the lady win," he teases.

Jed rolls his eyes and throws a rag at him. "Sure we did."


"Wes?" Jim taps on the garage office door.  Stepping inside, he nods to his brother before sitting down on an empty stool. "Looks like you're keeping plenty busy before you leave," he comments. Wes leaving wasn't a subject anyone really liked to talk about... they mainly inserted into casual conversation just to acknowledge that it was a reality even if they didn't want him to go.

"Had something I wanted to talk to you about..." He picks up a piece of old wire to play with as he swivels on the stool. "I don't know if you've noticed but, um... well Annie and I talked about it and we thought maybe you'd have some insight or something. Um... well, we've kinda caught on that Sparky and Faith have a thing going between them. I didn't think Sparky would ever, but it's pretty obvious and well... Annie and I are just a little concerned about the whole thing. We wanted to know if maybe you thought we should talk to Sparky about it."
