Worn out

If Hunter hadn't been drinking, he would have more control over his emotions. But as it was, tears filled his own eyes. He lifted her hand to kiss it, then just held it to his cheek. "I know... I was stupid... I fell off the wag'n an' I j'st started thinking about me and...and Alice and Kyle and you and Jas'n."

He sighed and put her hand down to lean over and rest his head on her shoulder. "I always knew," he admitted. "I just...didn't know when you'd see it too."


Looking down at Adison, Kirk smiled before nudging her back. "Thanks, partner." He gave her a once over and just shook his head, still smiling. She was a good friend.

Heading inside, within a few minutes he had disappeared behind a door which would remain shut for a full two hours. Finally it opened again. Out filed the judge, DA, Barnes and all the others. Only after they'd cleared the hall, did Kirk finally emerge, hands in pockets, looking completely worn out. And his eyes swept the hall for Adison.
