Fay_Creature: no can do L My brother has meet someone and invited me to LA over break. Get this the love of his life goes to school in Boston. They meet a few weeks ago when and I quote "his doing a favor for a friend lead my love to me" or something sappy like that.

Fay_Creature has signed off

Dawson sighed as he stood up from the computer and starched his legs. Not bothering to close the discussion he left the room, just as his mom walked in. She went over to the window and watched him as he walked out by the dock.

Sighing in frustration she turned back to the computer. Against her better judgment she leaned in and read the conversation between Dawson and Faylinn. She crossed back over to the window conversations floating through her head.

"He is fine, Gail. I wasn't a heart attack like he thought. He had a panic attack that is all." Faylinn said over the phone. "He'll be home in a few days."

"I am not going to pick up the prize for my film Mom. I can't leave you and Lilly here alone for that long."

"Gail, he needs to get out more. If you just let him stay here he will never leave." Bessie told her as she made some tea.

Making up her mind she sat on the couch and called Faylinn's cell phone. "Is this meeting you are at really very important?" she questioned before Faylinn could say anything.

"Not really. Is everything ok?" she asked worry creeping into her voice.

"He is fine. I was just calling to tell you to pick him up Thursday around 5. You are free then right?"

"Yes, why, do I have a feeling he doesn't know that he is coming up to Boston?"

"He doesn't yet. He has to leave sometime and now is as good as any. I have to go he is coming back in. Bye." With that Gail hung up the phone. Taking a deep breath she stood up and faced her son.
