Not today

As Ryan returns to the shop, the guys remain quiet. Two of the bay doors had been open... they all knew. When she gives up the day's challenge though, it's a surprise. They could see she was upset, but to give one of them the win of the day was a signal that things were far worse than just a little spat with her boyfriend. But no one knew what to say. 

It was over an hour later when Tal's car would pull into the lot at Ryan's apartment. It had felt like the longest hour he'd ever experienced. Getting out of his car, he makes his way slowly up the walk and to the door. He knew Ryan was here from seeing her car, but after the way they'd left things just as little earlier, he wasn't so sure she'd even want to see him. He had a key... but he wasn't going to just walk in... not today. 

Lifting his hand, he raps his knuckles on the door. "Ryan?" he calls. 


Sitting in the chair in the little room, Dani shifts around once again as her leg falls asleep. She couldn't remember how long she'd been here... but it didn't matter. Dalton slept a lot, but she didn't mind - while all was quiet, she read a book or even napped herself. 

Yawning, she sets her book aside and just watches Dalton sleep for several minutes. Finally getting up, she moves the chair right up next to the bed before sitting again. Leaning forward, she folds her arms on the mattress next to Dalton and rests her head there, closing her eyes. If she fell asleep but he woke up, she wanted him to know she was still here.
