Jason closes his eyes for a moment and sighs deeply. He couldn't believe Carson had done this... again... after all he and Misty had been through... after all the promises... after even getting married. Everyone had thought he had changed, even Jason.
"Don't be sorry," he assures. "I'm glad you called me."
Setting his hands on his hips, he takes a look around at the mess, not knowing what things were Carson's and what things were Misty's. It would be up to her to tell him what to do. At the same time though, he hoped that she was making the right decision.
"I'll help you however I can and I'll stay as long as it takes," he promises. "Just..." He bites his lip. He knew she was upset and he knew that she was terribly and deeply hurt. "Are you sure? Are you sure there's no chance of working things out? I'll help you do whatever you want, I just... want to make sure this is really what you want."
"Reese?" Susanne pokes her head into his office.
"Hmm?" He looks up absentmindedly from his paperwork. "Yes?"
"Um, well, I was just wondering..." Susanne lets herself in. "I hadn't heard much about Alec lately."
Reese smiles a little, knowing that Susanne had always had a soft spot for Alec, even from the beginning. "Well, I haven't heard an awful lot either."
"It's been a couple weeks since you set him free, right?"
"Yeah." Reese sighs. "All I know is he's been drunk a lot, but he's been job hunting.
Susanne finds it sad, as her face shows. "Isn't there anything we can do?"
"Not anymore. If he comes and asks for help, I'll consider it. But it's time he learned the hard way how life is lived. He wanted freedom - now he's got it."
"Are you really going to evict him after the six weeks is up?"
"I am."
Susanne sighs. "Okay. I guess I was just curious."
"Opah..." Scott leans back, swiveling in his desk chair as his eye remains on his computer. A can of Mountain Dew sat empty next to the monitor and several hours had passed already.
