Car Stuff

Listing, writing...defensive, wants trust, thick walls, loyal to the core once he trusts you. It hadn't gone unnoticed to him how he seemed to not was Sapphire hurt. To Ron it was one of the only reasons Garret more than likely came with them and it said a great deal about Garret.

   "I work here now that's all. Reese thought the Elite could use my investigated skills and I was looking for a reason to come back home."

It was the honest truth of why he was here and nothing more. He and Garret had a rough first meeting and he hadn't meant that. He thought he was just doing his job but it had turned of differently. He wanted Garret to be able to trust him, and he wanted to trust Garret, he really did.

Seeing Sparky coming to Ryan smiled and stood. She hadn't interacted with him much but she liked him. Hearing the offer to go into town Ryan's eyes danced a little thinking about the new adventure.

   "That does sound like a lot of fun. But if you guys get to drool over tack and stuff...I get to drool over car stuff if there is a place close that is."

Looking to Hunter Ryan's stomach growled again and she laughed. Maybe she could get her stomach to hold out a little longer. If she kept her mind busy she might not even realize she was hungry again until they got to the burger place.

   "The ranch has changed a lot too. It's gonna be ok, and if need be you'll get it down pat again. You've got too much determination to stop you."

Bracing himself so Jim could stay steady on him when he went up the steps Xander caught him as he stumbled. He cringed inwardly for Jim but his words her soft and encouraging.
  
   "Whoa there...slowly."

Once inside and seeing Becky Xander stepped back and let her take Jim. As Jim him his thanks, Xander slowly touched his arm again giving it a little squeeze to let him know where he was.

   "You are very welcome Jim."

Turning to leave to get back to his own work Xander stopped before looking at Becky again. He felt bad, and he wanted to do what he could. He had been gone for a long time and honestly he missed it here, and everyone he had grown to know and love.

   "If you guys need anything please done hesitate to ask. Even if it's just help to get Jim around. I'm here for you guys and I know Abby would do all she could too. Hang in there ok."
