Eli's eyebrows rise as Ryan speaks, very surprised to hear there was another man. "Wow." He blinks, not having thought at all that there was anyone but Leo, especially after all they'd been through.

"You sure it's not just... a crush or something? I mean, who is this guy? Does he care about you like Leo does?"


It was evening, but the sky was still gray. Jade yawns, having fallen asleep for part of the trip back and now exhausted. So happy, but exhausted none the less. The little bump as they enter the driveway of the ranch helps her wake up a little more.

"Mmm.... I bet everyone is done with supper, but I hope they saved the leftovers. I could-" Jade's voice comes to a sudden halt as she spots a familiar truck. A sudden rush of mixed emotions hits her. She should be glad to see her dad, but instead she was met with a sinking feeling. "That's..."

She swallows hard as Dan's own truck comes to a halt. "...Dad's pickup."

Turning her head to look at Dan, she bites her lip. "I... I didn't know he was... coming back... now." She cringes a little. "That sounds horrible. I should be excited, right? I mean it's good, right? He should be... better?"
