Chariot

Jason's eyebrows rise ever so slightly at Misty's suggestion. They were still just hanging out as friends here, right? This wasn't turning into something else so soon... right? 

Right. It wasn't. Jason was bummed. Misty was bummed. And together they were able to smile. Period. 

He nods his agreement. "Sounds good to me. I'll get enough meat for the three of us for tonight then. And... for tomorrow... you get to pick where we eat and what movie. I can't argue with the baby on what to eat, and I don't know what movie you'd like but I'll watch anything." 

He grins, glad that he had plans for the next two evenings. He'd already hit up Sandy and the guys but they all seemed to be busy this week. 

"Got it." Hunter  gives Katie a thumbs up, feeling a little more confident now about where he'd be headed and what was going on next.

After returning the glasses to the kitchen then finding himself in the barn again, Hunter ran into Eric, who promptly roped him into helping move some hay bales to a different spot. Hunter didn't mind a bit and pitched right in until he realized what time it was. He still needed a shower before heading to town. 

Released from work, he heads quickly to his bunkhouse for a shower and clean clothes, throwing back on his clean boots and running a quick comb through his wet hair. Once satisfied, he aims for Katie's bunk, getting turned around just once in the row of bunkhouses, but finally finding the right one. 

"Knock, knock." Hunter taps his knuckles on the door. "Your chariot awaits." How true. It was her car. "Unless you wanted to take the bike..."


"...And this is Dani Banks, wishing you a great evening. Now back to your favorite tunes as I turn things over to Bud Plowman who's got something to say about bananas and dolphins."

Carson smiles faintly as the radio kicks over to some easy listening music. Since Dani had quit working here, he'd heard absolutely nothing from her. She didn't return his phone calls. She never stopped by. He only knew she was still around by seeing her car drive by occasionally. He was glad she'd gotten a job - he wasn't surprised that she'd gone back to radio work after that's what she'd been doing in California. At least he could still hear her voice and know she was okay.

Hitting the switch to kick back to music, Dani takes off her headphones and runs a hand through her hair to straighten it out. 

"Sounding good," Bud compliments from his seat. 

"Hmm? Oh, thanks." This whole job had actually been quite a blessing. Dani had struggled to find another suitable job after giving Carson notice, but she'd finally found that this radio station needed another DJ. Having already had some experience, it just took one trial run for her to be hired. She didn't always like the music they played, but the people were nice and the hours were okay. The pay would at least let her keep the apartment with Libby anyway. 

Standing, she grabs her purse and pats Bud on the shoulder. "Don't put 'em to sleep - they're on the drive home."

Bud laughs and puts on his headphones. "Me? Put them to sleep? Never!" 

Grinning, Dani heads from the room, down the hall, bids Trudy goodnight and aims for her car in the parking lot. Pulling out her phone as she walks, she waits for Dalton to answer. "Hey, good lookin'. Did you say something about coming over for supper tonight, or was it my imagination?"
