As Stacy takes his hand, Eric automatically closes his fingers and a new little smile emerges. He was glad that she wouldn't mind his company after being with him all evening. He wasn't ready to go to bed yet anyway.
Walking silently with her, Eric knew her route well. Though words were few, it was just nice to enjoy the night air and... be with someone.
By the time they had circled back towards the bunkhouses, Eric's arm had slipped around Stacy's shoulders. Stopping near his bunk, he sighs. "Well... I guess it's about time for me to get some sleep if I'm gonna be any good tomorrow." His arm slips from Stacy and his eyes make their way to the ground as he shifts his weight awkwardly, not sure exactly how to end this evening. "So, um... goodnight, I s'pose."
Justin was thrilled that Beth had enjoyed church, but he doesn't want to make too big of a deal out of it for her sake. So instead, he smiles and nods. "Well sure - anytime you wanna come is great."
Finishing up the subs, he thinks for a moment. "Um... there are a couple bottles of water in the fridge that can go in the cooler and... I guess that's it, unless you want to take something else. The fishing gear is all ready to go. You wanna drive or ride with me?"
"Mmm, I'd love to sit here and think a while." Eli laughs and wriggles his fingers to tickle Scarlet's ribs. "However, if we do, you maybe shouldn't risk taking me to your place later," he teases. "You might not get rid of me."
Kissing her nose, he lets her loose so she can get up. Though he often teased her, he knew good and well where they both stood and he was okay with it. He'd lived with a girl for a while once and though tempted at other times to do the same, he enjoyed the fact that he and Scarlet could have a respectable relationship and still have plenty of good clean fun. Scarlet kept him on his toes and he loved it. He wouldn't know what to do if she had less energy - it kept him going... made him feel alive. He even owed her for him starting back to church again. Everything about her was just... bliss.
Realizing he was staring at her, he grins and shakes his head. "Well... you're really never gonna get rid of me."
Jason shakes his head and returns his focus to his plate of food. "Nah... not much. Mostly paperwork on my end since I'm not a hundred percent yet." He shrugs. "At least we got that concert coming up next week. Phil and Mike keep thinking up new things to do. Jen can't make it though so I think Axel's gonna come run sound for us."
Kaylee giggles as Trey rubs her cheek before turning back around and blowing sloppy raspberries and shaking her head, making her pigtails bounce and start to fall out of the tiny hair bands.
Cindy smiles at Trey and rolls her eyes. "I'm doing great, if this little turkey would settle down. I even fed her differently this morning, thinking that might help but she's still going a hundred miles an hour."
