"Ha!" Jason laughs outright before taking another bite of food. "Can you imagine Reese pulling me into his office and locking the door? I can just see those big Papa Bear eyes boring holes into me as he reminds me how special his niece is."
Cocking his head, Jason gives Misty a softer grin. "I don't think I need that reminder though." Returning to his food, he sighs with content. "I think this is gonna be a new favorite place of mine."
Being able to relax was perhaps something Jason had taken for granted for too long. But feeling so at ease tonight, he appreciates it so much. He had his other friends. He had his old buddies, and he had Sandy. They were all fun. But Misty knew him well, she knew his history and she knew more about what he was going through than anybody else. She was helping him heal... and he knew it.
Sitting in the restaurant lingers even after they were both finished eating. Just letting their food settle for a while felt good and it helped spend the time before any movies would start anyway.
"Okay..." Jason looks at his phone after he'd looked up showtimes on the internet. "We've got... a comedy that looks really stupid... a love story that I haven't heard of... another comedy that might be okay... something that looks like a family drama.... and an action flick with super heroes."
Looking to Misty, he reaches his phone across to her so she could see. "Take your pick."
Dani's giggling only increases as she's poked, tensing as Dalton's finger tickles her. "Yes! Yes, I'm gonna make it. Stop poking me, ya big galah."
Realizing she'd just sounded like Carson, she scrunches her nose, another giggle slipping out. Finally lowering her hands so her flushed face is exposed, she rolls her eyes. "Help me up. I think I broke a toe."
Smiling at Katie's directions to Neverland and feeling her arms tighten, Hunter brings a hand to hers, giving it a squeeze before gripping the handlebars again. "Think happy thoughts..." Maybe they really could fly.
Turning right, Hunter just keeps on driving. It was a gorgeous day and if they hadn't been on the bike, jackets certainly wouldn't be needed - but that was his rule. Long pants, jackets and helmets. He might be a risk taker, but he never compromised on those. Even so, the wind was cool, keeping the two riders from feeling the full warmth of the sun.
Time seemed to stand still for a while as curves were taken and hills were conquered. Eventually though, Hunter knows they needed to head to the ranch. Slowing at another intersection, he stops and sighs. "Gas gauge says we need to start aiming to the ranch. But I really am lost now so you're gonna have to tell me which way to go."
He chuckles and reaches back to give Katie's leg a teasing tweak. "Unless you want to run out of gas and have a nice long walk."
