Improvement

Aaron nodded and managed a small smile. He'd look forward to building more on this tomorrow, and was glad Sam wanted to keep helping him. "Okay." He wanted to ask if he'd get a walk today, but resisted. She'd already spent more time than normal with him this morning. 

Getting up from the chair, he took a moment to stretch his knee before limping to the bed to sit there instead. "I... think I believe you, by the way..." His eyes fell to study the rug on the floor. Nobody was a good enough liar to sit here and build with Legos if they didn't really want to. "About you not pretending to want to be my friend." He shrugged. "Heck if I know why you'd want to but... I believe you."


In the security room, Hal swiveled back and forth in his chair. He was calmer now and felt bad for getting so upset at Sam. He fingered the coffee cup she'd brought him and sighed. He hadn't done a very good job of thanking her for being so nice.


Hunter let Ryan snuggle down with him, keeping his arm around her and sighing with content. It felt kinda good to be all wrapped up with her again. He knew they'd been completely innocent at the ranch, but it still felt like a guilty pleasure to be tucked in close to her again. 

As the movie played, they all laughed at the funny scenes, and Hunter tickled Ryan a time or two to make her laugh even more. Eventually though, it was just too warm and comfortable to not start to doze off. 

On the couch, Eli was mighty comfortable himself, but managed to stay awake, his hand gently running up and down Scarlet's back. As the movie started coming to a close, he glanced over to the chair, and nudged Scarlet. "Should we wake 'em up or let them sleep?"


"I was at Scott's this morning..." Justin stood in Hope's office, checking in before heading to see Aaron . "He said you two have been spending some time together." He nodded. "I was glad to hear it. Seems he's started trying again - trying to get better. Not sure what to do about his anger issues, but im seeing improvement all around. How's he been with you?"
