"Okay.... See ya tomorrow." Jared gives Grace a little wave. Once she was gone, he leans his head back into his pillow, and wonders if all that had really happened. Why was Grace being so nice to him? Not that he minded... On the contrary, he had really enjoyed her company today. It was just interesting that she was giving him this much attention. Already he was looking forward to tomorrow. And it was the first time since being in here that he was looking forward to anything.
The next morning, being woken early again doesn't seem quiet as bad, and instead of trying to go back to sleep, he flips on the television to stay awake.
Eric own face flushed crimson as he choked on another laugh. He didn't know if he was all that special, or if what Ashlee said was true, but the girl's innocent statement, coupled with Stacy's embarrassment was too much not to laugh at. His foot taps Stacy's under the table, letting her know he was more amused than anything else, and she need not be embarrassed. He was sure he wasn't the only man she'd paid attention to, but it was probably time to end this conversation.
Spying their waiter, he waves him over, trying to control his laughter. "I think we're ready to order now.... And if we're not, we're ordering anyway."
"Oh my... and I only wanted one nice thing. I should have asked for more." Hunter laughs and just stays lying where he is, still trying to catch his breath. "I'm not sure me being me is really a good thing though. At least you might find some opposition on that one."
A shooting star suddenly zips across the dark sky and Hunter smiles. "Been a while since I've taken time to watch the stars... I guess I kinda miss it."
