Welcoming committee

Alec starts to grin, the same fiery glint shining in his eye. "Well... that's one way of putting it..." A short laugh comes out and he shakes his head. He knew better than to think Ryan was that kind of woman. From day one, he'd seen she wasn't. She'd let him make out with her, but that's where it stopped and he knew it without her saying so. "I don't feel like getting beat up tonight though."

Looking at her a little slyly, he finally moves, his hand going to the door handle. "I think instead, I'll walk the remaining four blocks, so if there's a welcoming committee, you'll be in the clear."


"Nine..." Leo nods. "Sounds good to me. I get to sleep late then."

He heads for the door, stopping one more time to turn around. For a strange, quiet moment, he studies Cassy. "Good night. See you tomorrow."

The door falls shut behind him and he ambles to his car, ready to go home and take a hot shower before bed.
