Yes!

Katie can't help the out burst laughter at Jason's antics. She had missed them and was happy to be sitting here now laughing. She wasn't feeling amazing yet but he was helping her smile and that alone helped a little.

   "I don't mean to laugh before I ask if you are ok...but if you could see your face you would too."

Continuing to laugh Katie does her best to compose herself. Taking a sip of her water and grabbing an ice cube she munches on it before looking at Jason again and shaking her head. Some thing never change and she was happy about that.

   "...are you ok J? Don't die on me now after I just poured my heart out to you."

   "Yes!"

Maggie hopped up from where she was coloring and smiled at Laura. She was always happy to help with anything Laura needed. She enjoyed helping her even if other people might consider it  dirty work. Maggie just liked being around her, and helping as much as possible to make things easier for her.

Heading down the hall and stopping at Garret's door she gives a knock before opening it a little and poking her head in. Seeing him awake and sitting on his bed she goes all the way and and comes over to him. Laying a soft hand on his arm where he could see it was her.

   "Garret, its time for dinner. You are going to eat with us. Laura made chicken casserole and afterwards there is ice cream. Come on...Laura said you have to come or she will chase you with her rolling pin."

Smiling at Garret with her big brown eyes Maggie waited for him. She was happy he was staying a little longer and was going to be eating dinner with them tonight. It would be nice to have him at the table too.

Seeing how somber Travis got at the mention of dinner Ashlee couldn't help but feel a little let down. Not with Travis just that she wouldn't have someone her own age to talk too. Wasn't his fault though and she wasn't upset with him. She wasn't sure what happened when he went to get his stuff today but she would guess it probable wasn't easy and his mom might have put up a big fuss. She felt sad, it was hard seeing Travis hurting.

   "Well if you don't want to eat now that's ok. There will be left overs in the fridge, there always are and you can have them any time you get hungry. That area is never off limits."

Ashlee smiled at him and shifted just a little so she was standing on her own again. Picking at a piece of the paint for a moment. Hearing Travis speak again this time about working there Ashlee cant help the little bit of excitement that was on her face. She wondered if they would get pared up more. She'd like that if they were.

   "I think I would like that very much. It will be nice to see a younger face around. Not that there is anything wrong with anyone else...just...someone around my age. You might even get to see that hay loft after all."
