Hank was all about the gossip. “So, Jason, who was chasing who? Looks like you were the one making moves.”
“Yeah,” Jason admitted, adding quickly, “But keep it to yourself, Hank. I don’t want any rumors about me and Alisa going around again.”
Hank reassured him, “Got it, got it, Jason. I’m just waiting for the day you and Monica start handing out wedding favors.”
“You’ll get your invite when the time comes,” Jason said, tapping the table, “For today, you handle the wrap-up. I’m heading out early, got some things to do.”
“Date night with Alisa, huh?” Hank chuckled. “Don’t worry, leave the rest to me. And about Julie, she won’t be causing any trouble on our watch. Oh, and Mr. Salstrom from Elysian Technologies called. The Salstroms are pushing for a quick resolution on that case.”
“Handle it,” Jason said shortly.
After tidying up a bit, Jason left work early.
He stopped first to pick up some gifts, and a special present for Alisa’s daughter, Isla, before driving over to the Browns'.
At precisely six, Jason arrived at the Browns' home.
Both Daniel and Malia were there waiting, greeting Jason with smiles. “There he is! Come on in, have a seat.”
Alisa, busy in the kitchen, peeked out at the sound of his arrival, her face lighting up with joy.
Isla ran out of her room, exclaiming, “Papa Jason!”
“Isla,” Jason greeted her with a smile, handing over the gifts to Malia. “Aunt Malia, Uncle Daniel, I got you some vitamins. Anastasia mentioned you’ve been feeling under the weather. Have you had your check-ups lately?”
Laughing, Malia said, “You shouldn’t have. You’ve done so much for us over the years. Next time, don’t spend anything.”
Daniel joined in warmly, “Had our check-ups last week. Your aunt’s dealing with a bit of high blood pressure, but I’m doing alright. Sit down, Jason, let’s have a drink.”
“Wouldn’t miss it,” Jason replied.
The dinner table already had several dishes as Alisa emerged from the kitchen, “You guys start. I’m just finishing up the last dish.”
“Take your time, Anastasia,” Jason said politely.
They all sat down to eat, with Isla insisting on sitting next to Jason. Daniel opened a bottle of fine bourbon, pouring them each a glass. “Give this a try. Alisa told me you’ve been swamped with work lately and got a promotion too. Means less time for our get-togethers. Let’s enjoy it while we can.”
