"Jack, what do you mean I have to come back sooner?" Danny asks half asleep. He yawns and runs his hand through his hair.
"Exactly that. You have two weeks instead of three. By the way, you didn't just get up, did you? It's almost noon."
"Yeah, I did. I had a late night with Jo." Danny once again yawns into the phone. There was a slight pause before Jack responds.
"A late night with Jo?" Danny hears a slight edge to his voice.
"Yeah, she took me shopping." He says with a groan as he flings his arm across his eyes against the sunlight. "Some of the stores here never close. It's crazy."
Danny hears Jack sighs into the phone. "So, you're planning on staying?"
Danny rises himself into a sitting position. "Yeah, I am. Something I assumed you already knew" Danny snaps.
"Whoa, calm yourself. Just asking a question Kaffee. It's just…" Jack hesitates. "I don't think you are going to win this one."
Danny rolls his eyes. "What's so impossible about it? Jo will listen to me, she'll come back. At the very least I will stay until I receive the whole truth from her." Danny stands and stretches, and then begins to pace the small apartment.
"So, she gave you an answer to your questions then." Jack muses out loud. "What makes you think that she didn't tell you the whole truth?"
"I know her." Danny states, like it's a well-known fact.
"You sure about that?" Jack's questions stops Danny's pacing.
"You know something I don't."
"You know it, you just have to dig. Who knows, once you really see, maybe you'll find out your own answer."
Danny's eyebrows meet in confusion. "Answer to what?"
Jack chuckles a bit before answering. "The answer to why you're really there."
And with that, the line goes dead. Danny looks at the phone, before dropping it on the couch.
"That jerk, he hung up on me."
Danny shrugs it off, and then thinks everything over. Jo has another day of work, so Danny has another day to himself until five once again. Somehow between throwing clothes into carts and the ride home Danny had convinced Jo to take off from work while he was here.
"Come on, Jo! Have you even experienced the city yet?"
However, she has to work today and tomorrow before she can be off. Something about a replacement, but Danny stopped paying attention at that point. Danny is relieved that he has the apartment to himself, though. This gives him time to do a little digging. He begins to wonder if he knows Jo as well as he thought he did.
Jo sits at her office, thinking about her situation. She knows now that Danny is not leaving so easily. She just hopes that she could keep up her act until he leaves.
Her computer alerts her of a new email, which startles Jo out of her thoughts.
She smiles at the name that pops up: Sam Weinberg
Sam: So, from what I hear, Danny's not giving up. Just tell him everything.
Jo pauses over the keys before replying.
Jo: I did. He's just not listening
Sam answers quickly.
Sam: Oh, so you told him that you love him? How much he ended up hurting you?
Jo: It's not why I left, he doesn't need to know that.
Sam: It's exactly why you left, which is why he should know from you.
Jo: I needed a career change.
Sam: You didn't have to move states to do that, Jo. Come on, just be the honest straight shooter that you are.
Jo sighs at Sam's message.
Jo: Fine. It was Danny. He will never see me as I see him.
Sam took a moment to reply to this. Jo began to think that he wouldn't, when his name pops up again.
Sam: You don't know that.
Jo: I do…. And the funny thing is you know it too.
Sam: Just tell him, all right? That may be the only way he'll drop this.
Jo: It's funny. I'm the closest of having what I always wanted, and now I'm supposed to consider it a setback.
As soon as she sent the message, she regrets it. It was way to revealing. However, she is surprised at Sam's reply.
Sam: You deserve so much more than you allow yourself to receive.
She smiles at his rare slight compliment.
Jo: I know.
