Reminder

Returning Kirk's handshake Ron smiled. He hadn't planned on playing catch up with more than just Adison but he might as well make the best of it. Kirk looked a lot different from the last time he seen him but he looked good. 

   "Hey it has been. Nice place you got here."

Being cut off by the doorbell Ron followed Adison into the kitchen putting the beer in the fridge but grabbing a few. Coming back over to Adison who was getting plates he smiled. She really did look good from the last time he saw her.

Grabbing some plates Adison figured since it was more than just her and Kirk they might as well be half way decedent and eat like humans. Turning and seeing Ron standing by her she smiled. It was different having someone else besides Kirk here. About to say something Adison heard Kirk call and noded twords the living room.

   "It's one of the best places to eat honestly. You're lucky we got plates."

Heading into the living room and taking her normal position on the couch Adison hands outs the places, and is followed by Ron handing each of them a beer. Adison figured she'd make an acceptation for a special occasion. Grabbing a slice she did hesitate to start eating.

Sitting down and watching Adison for a long moment Ron can't help but laugh taking a sip of his beer. Somethings really didn't ever change.

   "I guess I dont need to ask if pizza is still you favorite. I never understood how you could eat whatever you wanted and not gain a pound."

Grabbing his own slice it took a bite before looking to Kirk giving a nod of thanks for the pizza and wings. It had been a long time since he'd just indulged himself in junk food and man was it good.

   "So do you guys still work together?"

Just continuing to search Jason's face Katie could see the pain in his eyes and it hurt. With everything he had been through, with all the pain and hurt in his life she couldn't blame him for being hesitant and for not really knowing how to put his guard down. It hurt even more thinking about it because of all the potential Jason really had. 

   "You can be scared, but you dont have to carry that alone anymore. We can be strong together. We both can just...live and lean on each other when we need too. I'm not going anywhere anymore...I promise."

Leaning in Katie placed a gentil kiss on Jason's lips before putting away and resting her head against him. They both had there handful of issues, and things to deal with but Katie was in it for the long hall this time. She wasn't going to make Jason deal alone, not anymore. 

   "Hurt is what makes us know we are alive still. A reminder life is short, but we have another chance to make the most of it. I know as long as we have each other...we can face anything. We are just good like that."
