No substitute

Carson grins and puts his keys in his pocket, waiting patiently for Misty to finish. He nods to Rick but doesn't interrupt the work he's doing either.

Leaning back against Misty's desk, he waits until she's done. As she comes to give him a kiss, he automatically draws her close, smiling as he kisses her back. "Mm... amazing how much I can miss you in one morning."

Straightening up, he slings an arm over her shoulders. "If you can get away long enough today without getting fired, I say we go up to the lake. I'm so sick of Italian food I gotta have something else."


Justin shakes his head slightly. "Scott and food aren't on speaking terms just yet." He smiles and is quick to follow up with positivity. "But morning would be great. And... if you want to bring something... go for his favorite. I have yet to see him turn down a can of Mountain Dew."

Looking towards the door, he gives Sapphire a little nod. "How about ten o'clock? I'll meet you in the parking lot and we can go to Scott together, alright?"

He cocks his head a little again to see her eyes. "We'll do it together, okay? And I promise... no matter how tough it might get... good will come of tomorrow. There's no substitute for love."
