Eli laughs as Ryan hugs him tightly and he spins her around. "Okay, okay... get my life together, then worry about rent. Got it." He laughs again, shaking his head, only to see his sister call for a party. "Whoa, whoa, it's not that big of a deal!"
"Yes it is!" Jed yells from another car. "Any call for a party is a big deal!"
Eli smirks but throws up his arms. "Okay, party it is." He sticks around for a while in the shop before heading out again in higher spirits than he'd had in a long time.
The rest of the day moves on rather quickly. Leo forfeits supper with Ryan in order to have a party in the shop, and though having looked forward to it, he enjoys the time with everyone else too. And when all is said and done, the sun is sinking low and everyone has gone their separate ways. The shop is closed for the night and back at the apartment, Eli is kicking back on the couch in front of the television set. But after a few minutes of nothing, he turns it off, letting the silence hang in the living room.
"Alright... so you been teetering on the edge of something all afternoon, Speedy." He glances to his sister. "Wanna talk about it?"
Trent's eyebrows rise a little but what was he supposed to say? No? There was no reason for him to deny Thirteen some pictures.
Finally he nods. "Okay... yeah, yeah that'll be okay."
