True?

"I know you don't mind." Alec opens his car door. "But it's better this way." He tosses her a wink. "Don't get a speeding ticket on the way home, eh?"

Getting out of the car, he closes the door and bangs his palm on the roof to signal Ryan she could take off. Once alone, he heads for the sidewalk.


The night was over and morning close on its heels.


Scott's eyes open wearily, the light hurting them. He didn't know how much sleep he'd gotten through the night, but it hadn't been much. At some point in time, he'd had another nightmare and would have ended up on the floor had Hope not been there to keep him still. He was exhausted. But his mind knew it was morning and wouldn't let him sleep any more right now.

Shifting his weight, he feels Hope still curled behind him. It was awfully comfortable here. And warm. "You're gonna be late for work," he mumbles.


Nine o'clock on the dot, Leo pulls up to Cassy's building. He was sore from yesterday's work, but refreshed today nonetheless. He didn't have to go into the shop and that was a plus, so he was feeling pretty good.

Getting to the door, he goes ahead and opens it a little, sticking his head in. "Hello? Cassy? Your friendly painter is here."


Arriving at J&J's Auto, Jason grumbles to himself as he parks his truck. Without any sleep, he was tired, grouchy and in no mood to be on this assignment. But it was under Reese's request.

Sighing, he ambles into the shop, scanning the workers, and nodding to those he knew, including Axel. It wasn't his friends he was here to see though.

Seeing Ryan, he heads to her, stopping by the car she was working on. "Ryan. Long time no see." His tone was dry. It really hadn't been all that long since he'd seen her. "I spoke to your brother already this morning," he informs. "And he tells me that you took Alec back to TJY last night. Is that true?"
