Handicap

Carol sits at the end of the table with Nikki and Pete. She was rather tired today but wanted to spend time with her daughter and her boyfriend. She wanted to enjoy all the time she could with the ones she loved it was important.

"This is extra good Nikki."

Nikki can feel the color come to her face. She always cooked for her mom and she was sure it tasted the same as always but the complements made her feel good and know she did do it right.

"Learned from the best cook around my Mom. Before I left she made sure to give me her recipe book since I couldn't cook a lick before that. So it was just trial and error from there and many calls to mom and how to do things."

Carol gives a laugh as she takes a sip of her water and pats her lips with her napkin. Here tired eyes giving a sparkle.

"All hours of the day she would call to and I am sure she could of figured it out herself, but I didn't mind it really was nice to hear her."

"Ma, you give me to much credit. She really does Pete...because of her I learn to cook so well."

Watching Alec as he throws the ball at the wall again Trey takes in his words remembering them for when he needed them. Also keeping in mind if he talked to Trey ever to mention Alec.

"Thanks for the info Alec, never know when it just might come in handy."

Leaning against the wall his arms still cross Trey continues to watch Alec as he throws the ball and tells him about Katie and Jason. Digging through his own brain he trys to remember if he had seen them. Ahhh...they much have been the two he saw on his first day on the way in.

"Ah, I did notice them the first day. She sure does have killer looks. And the tall guy was her guy was her boyfriend huh....mm....She didn't look like she'd hurt a fly, as for him He's not that intimating since I am almost as tall as him, but I'll remember not to step on there toes to much."

Straightening again Trey lets out a long sigh he was really feening for a smoke and if he couldn't go outside than he'd just go back to his room with a glass of water and take a few puffs.

"I guess I'll leave you back to whatever you were doing now. You don't seem to bad Alec, if you get bored I'm in the room next to the infirmary. Maybe you could tell me more about that fiery readhead."

Turning and making his way slowly down the hall again Trey shoves his hands into his pockets. At least he got to talk to someone tonight that seemed to be a little more interesting than Hal, or anyone else that tried lecturing him. Maybe he and Alec would get along better than anyone thought, though he'd still have to feel him out. Trust didn't come easily specially here.

Letting the laughter roll once again Ryan can't help it, the memories, and now having Eli reinact it...it was all just to much that sent Ryan over the top as her sides started to hurt. Whiping the tears from her eyes Ryan leans her had back against the couch for a moment.

Even if they hurt a little bit memories were good, and Ryan was happy they had them, and she was happy she had Eli back in her life again. She had missed him so much only to realize it now that she had him back.

"They sure were good times. I'm hoping to make some more with you too. Maybe one day when we arnt busy we could all go camping or something."

Closing her eyes for a moment Ryan remebers the fun they use to have camping. Everyone always though pop was off his rocker to take Ryan up there when she was so little but she loved it.

Opening her eyes again Ryan gives another laugh to being called Homeless Gary before lifting the remote and turning the movie on. Poping another fry into her mouth and savoring the taste.

"Your wish is my command wallriss."

Stepping back again Sapphire watchs as Gage takes aim and the ball goes right into the cup. Giving a little jump and a clap a smile forms on her face before she see the grin on Gage's face. Finally it clicks though and she puts her hands on her hips going over to him and giving a little push to get him out of the way. Though her eyes still sparkled with humor.

"No fair, you have an unfair advantage, I should get a handicap for that."

Taking her own time Sapphire lines her ball up and takes aim. Getting it over the little bridge it stops before before making it to the windmill. Looking up at Gage and raising her eyebrow as a warning not to even laugh Sapphire goes to the ball and putts again this time getting it into the hole before turning back to Gage once more.

"Maybe you should be the one with your arms around me, and teaching me how to do it."
