"Umm.... two more I think." Rosalyn concentrates on the food, trying not to let her brother's look bother her. At least it didn't seem Chad had picked up on anything. He probably felt weird enough the way it was.
Glancing over her shoulder at him, she automatically smiled. She couldn't remember anybody who had ever had that affect on her, but... she really didn't mind one bit. It was something that felt... special.
Letting Chad help her with the rest of breakfast, Jade does eventually come, apologizing for sleeping through her alarm. She was just in time to help serve though, and Rosalyn hadn't minded having Chad to herself for a while. Once breakfast starts though, he was gone and she was left to her normal tasks, unable to help but wonder if she'd get any time with him again before he left. She knew that this was something short-lived. He was leaving tomorrow and going back to his life. This had just been a vacation for him. Even so, she wanted to enjoy these last few hours and soak it all in, in the hopes that one day she'd really have someone like him to call her own.
Joined by Katie, Jeff smiles. "Hey, Kiddo. I'm feeling alright this morning - better than yesterday. I think it's going to be a good day."
He cocks his head a moment, studying her face. He hoped that she truly was ready to go back to Nevada. He'd want her here forever, but knew she had a job to do. He just hoped that she was ready and that she would be able to easily adjust once she was back to work and back to her other world. "What about you? All packed?"
Cradling the phone between his shoulder and chin, Alec waits for Misty to answer. He'd gotten her voice mail on her cell phone, so he'd tried the Elite infirmary directly. One ring... two.... Come on, Misty, pick up....
Once he hears her voice, he breathes a sigh of relief. That was only half his stress though. "Hey, Misty, it's Alec. Um... can you come home?"
He glances over his shoulder to the kitchen table where Mackenzie sat, her head bent and resting on her folded arms.
"We.... have a slight problem."
