Cal didn't know what to do. He hadn't expected this. Things were just getting to be okay between himself and Jack-they weren't glaring murderously at each other and the silences when they were alone were awkward-but still, it was better than it had been.

Now this. Cal didn't think it would really affect him all that much; it was more Rose he was thinking of. The main concern in his mind was how this would affect her and Jack.

He wasn't thrilled about it, but what could he do? He had never in expected Ruth to come to California. He wasn't even sure why she had. She had sent him a letter when she left Philadelphia, saying she was coming to Santa Monica.

Jack clenched his jaw in frustration. His drawing didn't want to go the way he wanted and he was not happy about it. Lately it seemed as if everything was going wrong.

He found himself staring at Cal. He swore inwardly. "What do you want?" "To talk to you." Cal's voice was condescendingly patient. "I know that. About what?"

"Something important." Jack was becoming impatient. "Can't you just tell me?" "Yes, but not now." "Whatever. When?" "Later."
