Jason can't keep his smile from growing wider. "I don't think I want it to end either. But I guess if it ends..." He leans in, giving Misty's lips another gentle kiss. "...that just means a new one can start."
Refraining from indulging anymore for now, Jason settles back in his seat, but still leans close to Misty, keeping her hand in his. He'd been on a lot of dates... he'd had more than one girlfriend... but there was something different about this. Something special. And though he didn't know it, there would be future days that he would look back on this evening and smile.
As the credits of the movie roll, Jason stays in his seat until he and Misty are the only ones left in the theater and the final names were scrolling up the screen. Sighing, he turns to Misty and grins. "Well... I guess that's that." He squeezes her hand. "I suppose it's time to go pick up your car, huh?"
...And all too soon, they're back at the TJY parking lot, Jason's truck idling next to Misty's waiting car. Jason looks over at her, giving her hand a squeeze. "Thanks, Misty. I... had a really good time tonight."
Grumbling, Alec tosses another blood-soaked paper towel into the trash, keeping his hand under the running water in the bathroom. His hand had finally stopped bleeding earlier, but when he'd gone to change the makeshift bandage, it had started all over again. He'd been able to doze off for a while, but it had just left him more drowsy than anything, not helping his mood any.
Hunter chuckles, just glad he'd helped Katie a little bit. "Yeah, well..." He reaches up to brush her cheek with his finger. "You've got a bit of magic yourself there, missy."
Standing slowly, he brushes off his jeans and holds out his hands to help Katie to her feet as well. Grabbing his jacket to sling over his shoulder, he takes Katie's hand to begin the walk back across the pasture.
"So... if you could have anything in the world right now, what would it be?"
