Blurting Things Out

Kent slowly sat down, making sure to be careful of his healing leg. Settling a hand on it, he turned his blue eyes to Tam and smiled. "I'm not really hungry right now, but water would be nice."

A light chuckle left him as he tapped said leg. Just being with her made him feel like he could get through everything more easily.

Glancing back to Max and Kevin, he frowned. "I'll keep you both up to date on what happens." He told them before leaving.

At the sound of Paul's truck, Kevin frowned. "Did he say what I think he did?" He asked with concern in his eyes.

Bonnie, now on Max's shoulders, had grabbed the little mouse and was hugging it close as she nuzzled into the man's neck. She was happy and comfortable with her two favorite men in the room.
