She'd followed him down from her parents, mostly because she'd had some tracks to listen to before they were sent off to the producer and because she was a workaholic, she opted to do it there rather than in the morning. So she'd had another glass of wine and talked to her father about life on the road before loading extra food for Jared into her

Of all the fucking times.

Of all the fucking times his parents could have called him, they chose fucking nowIt didn't make sense, for a number of reasons.

He never wanted to, but he had promised his nana before she had passed away that when she was gone, he wouldn't just forget about the rest of his family. She knew, even then.

Elena frowned and handed over the beer, got a new one for herself, and reclaimed her spot at the table. Jared looked physically pained and she was started to actively worry.

To answer Elena's question, Jared nestled his cell phone between his shoulder and his ear and made an air noose, letting his neck go limp. Incase that was too sardonic, though, he mouthed back, "My mom."

"Jesus fucking Christ!" Jared jumped out of his chair like he had just been burned. "Mom, what the fuck!"

Elena slipped an arm around Wooten as he let out a quick Woof! - as he'd been taught to do. She soothed him and frowned at Jared's sudden wording. Especially since this was the very first interaction between the two she'd ever witnessed. Gently, she nudged the dog down off her lap, ready to get up if Jared needed her.
