No!

Getting home Sam was sure Adison more than likely but she didn't want to chance it. Just closing her door Sam flopped down on her bed. The tears streamed out of her eyes as she just laid in bed and soon sleep took over.

Waking with a start to the knock and voice at the door Sam tried to pull herself out of her sleepy state. She felt horrible and knew she more than likely looked like it took. Going to her door she just stood there for a long moment with her hand against it.

   "No...I really don't."

She knew her words sounded cold, she wasn't mad at Hal, this wasn't his fault. Opening the door finally, she just looked at Hal for a long moment. Her eyes were bloodshot but she didn't care. Walking past Hal and wondering to the kitchen she grabbed two bowls and spoons.

   "You dish it out, I'll make a mess if I try."

   "Aaron had a lot of hate I think for a lot of people. It seemed like Sam was the only one he didn't and trusted. I dont think he ever could be at the point you are until he let go of that. It's sad really something like that could really hold someone with potential"

Thinking for a long second about what Garret said about someone telling Justin. He didn't really care for Justin, even if he was good at his job she just didn't care for his style, but he was good. Maybe understanding a little more would help.

   "You could be right. Getting Justin to help might be good. Maybe if we can just understand something deeper that might help."

   "So anyways when Eli went on one of my trips with me we had to get super dressed up. I mean like tux, fancy dress all that jazz..."

Scarlet took a spoon full of ice cream pausing her story for a second as she sucked on the cold treat. After being out at the races this really did hit the spot, and the good company was nice too.

   "..,let me tell you Ryan mmm..mm..mm...you brother was smoking. Anyways I think he forgot what he was doing and just ending up chatting it up with the Princes son about cars and paint jobs. I thought for sure our cover was blown but if he hadn't been for him and his chatter we never would have finished the job."

Ryan laughed and shook her head taking a bite of her ice cream and then leaning her head on Hunter's shoulder. She was rather comfortable sitting in his lap and was happy to have ended up there. She loved listing to Scarlet's stories about work too. There were always so exciting and sometimes Ryan wish she could do something like that, but at the same time, she knew that kind of life was not for her too.

    "I wish I had seen a picture of him all jazzed up. It would have made good blackmail you know. What abut you Dylan have any exciting ranch stories with those crazy card games you have?"

Sitting on the couch just listing to the stories as she eats her ice cream she gave Zan's shoulder a little bump with her leg. She was happy he was still close to her even though not on the couch. It was still comfortable and she could reach him.

Honestly, she had never thought of herself hanging out with people like this group. She was so quiet and they were so outgoing. She liked it though and liked listing to them and just watching. It made her smiled and she could really use more smiled in her life.

Taking another spoon full of ice cream  she also chewed the few sour patch kids she had added on top. Setting the spoon down in the bowl she brough her free hand to Zan's head and just absently mindedly ran her fingers through his hair while listing to the storys.
