Game

Laying down tucked in front of Chance Destiny just watched the TV and what was on it. She still had that feeling in the pit of her stomach but maybe it was nothing. One could hope, right?

   "I'm pretty tired myself so I make no promises on keeping you awake."

Nate smiled again and let his hand drop. Garret had changed so much since when he first got here and it was a good change. He still had his bumps but really who didn't? Even he was still learning lessons along the way. Like taking a little more time to be with his family, to not let work rules his life. Tomorrow was never promised to anyone and he needed to remember that before it was too late.

   "You are very welcome Garret. Despite everything, it's been really nice to have you here and it been nice to see Maggie so happy. Also even after you leave you are always welcome here. If it's to just be around people, get some free food or complain about your day you are welcome here with open arms."

Nate chuckled thinking for a moment before crossing her arms over his chest.

   "Not to mention if you don't visit Maggie she'll hurt you own herself."

Turning at the sound of Laura's voice Nate smiled and gave Garret a sidelong glance. Laura sure new how to win his heart. He'd never turn down ice cream.

   "Um...I'm game as aways."

Katie couldn't help but laugh. She was happy Rick was having a nice time and mingling with everyone. Laughter was the best medicine for anyone even a doctor himself. 

That sounds perfect to me. I'm to sleepy to try and make my brain work on cards tonight anyways. 

   "Definitely another nite we will join in, promise."

Hearing Sparky's comment Katie looked at him and smiled. Her dad has always been good at cards as long as she could remember. It didn't matter the game he was good at it. She always teased him he was cheating.

   "We will keep it hush hush from him for now. Catch him by surprise."
