Sound asleep

Jason smiles at Destiny, glad he could at least maybe help her feel a little more at ease tomorrow. "You're welcome. That's what we're here for."

Saying he'd see her later, he finally heads back to his office, only to turn right around and head back out to the main floor. Aiming for Katie's cubicle, he passes by Chance but doesn't stop. On his way, he spies Alec coming from Reese's office. Odd. But none of his business.

Hey, cutie. What are you doing for lunch today?

Jason leans over Katie's cubicle wall, giving her puppydog eyes. "I'm lonely. Do you have the cure?"


Loud beeping sounds in Gage's apartment, his alarm going off two feet from his mattress. But even though he'd turned it up to wake him up in time to be ready for Sapphire to come for lunch, his body doesn't move.

The sound of the alarm seemed to infiltrate his dream, becoming something imagined so not even the fog lifts. Gage was completely sound asleep.


Justin simply purses his lips in something close to a smile and nods, giving Beth a little wave. Starting down the sidewalk, he tucks one hand in the pocket of his jeans, his head slightly bent. He caught himself walking in this dejected position, but didn't try to fix it. He was too tired. Maybe he was just in a bad mood.

Getting to his truck, he throws his backpack into the passenger seat and slides in behind the wheel. But for a few minutes, he sits without leaving. Many thoughts ran through his mind, and a few that didn't feel so great. Move on, Justin, come on. Quit landing in the middle of messes you can't fix. It's not worth it.

Sighing, he turns the key and has to try several times to get his pickup to come to life. He needed a new vehicle, plain and simple. But money wasn't coming easily. His mother was right. He needed a real job.

With another headache settling in, Justin sets out for the long drive home.
