Heat

Jason leans back in his chair and studies Misty for several moments. He knew she was just trying to do what was right, and he knew that she'd always wanted to help Alec. Her heart was in the right place - of that, he had no doubt. But was she being wise? 

"I guess... if it were me... I wouldn't go to that much trouble. But then... my hearts not quite as big as yours either." He gives her a little smile. "I suppose you can't be a fool for acting like Jesus. And... I have to admit, Alec was kinda fun last night. Do I think he's changed?" He shrugs. "That has yet to be proven to me. But it's not my choice if he stays with you. If you feel strongly about it then... I trust your judgment. I don't necessarily trust him, but I trust you." 

Thinking for a couple moments, he nods. "I don't mind if you invite him to the park tonight. I... guess I kinda like it sometimes being just you and me..." Why a little bit of heat crawls up the back of his neck, he isn't sure. "...but whether I trust Alec or not, I'm sure he needs some good friends." 

"Catching up sounds great." Jay gives Katie one last squeeze before finally letting her go. "I'll get settled in, and you two go see your dad then. I'll be around when you get back."

Watching Jay leave, Hunter grins a little at Katie. "Ya know... I have to tell you... this is kinda a crazy family with all these weird connections... but everyone sure does seem nice." 

Finishing up his lemonade, he picks up both glasses to take them back to the kitchen. "Where do I find you to go to the hospital in a while?"
