On the drive back to Bon Temps, Kaeson could not help but think about the Eric situation. She decided instead of worrying about it she would talk to Eric next time she saw him, which she hoped would be soon.
She pulled into Merlotte's parking lot and parked beside Jason's truck. She walked in and waved at Sam as she scanned the bar for Jason. She found him sitting in his normal booth in the corner.
"Hey!" She said as she slid into the booth.
"Hi, Kae." Jason replied as he looked up at her. "You look nice, I hope you don't mind I ordered you tea."
"Thank you, I don't think anyone as seen me out of work clothes. Maybe I should go change 'cause everyone has commented today. Tea is great thanks." She said smiling.
Sookie came by with their drinks and sat them down as she asked how Kaeson drive had been.
"It was good, why don't you join us. I'm sure Sam won't mind giving you your break early." She told Sookie and then turned to Jason and said, "That is if Jason doesn't mind."
"Nah, I don't mind." Jason replied rubbing the back of his neck.
"Alright, I'll see what Sam says." Sookie replied as she turned and walked to the back.
Kaeson and Jason talked about the improvements that were going to be made to the houses, when it was going to happen and if they needed any help. Kaeson was agreeing to drop by and help out when she could once the renovations were started when Sookie came back and slid into the booth next to Jason. Kaeson took their orders back to Lafayette and then the food was ready she went back and picked up the order and brought it to their table. They ate and talked some more and when Kaeson returned from taking the dishes to the back, she found Sam sitting in her side of the booth. He shot her a smile as she walked up and slid in next to him. Sookie and Kaeson talked scheduling and hours with Sam and then switched to various topics to include Jason.
Kaeson looked down at her watch and suggested that they move the supplies from her car to Jason's truck. Jason and Sam volunteered to do it if Kaeson handled the bar for a few minutes. Kaeson served drinks while Sookie went back to work and Jason and Sam moved the supplies. When Sam came back in she asked Kaeson what she was doing the rest of the night and she said that she was thinking about going to Shreveport to the library and shopping.
"Are you trying to get me to work tonight?" Kaeson asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No! I was just curious that's all." Sam said defensively.
"Alright, well I will see you tomorrow then." Kaeson replied as she smiled and walked out.
Kaeson did not really have the intention of driving to Shreveport; instead she planned on staying in Bon Temps and just looking around. She spent several hours just looking around town, buying a few new sets of jewelry and some groceries. When she left the town square it was dusk and by the time she got home, it was fairly dark. She gathered all of her bags from her car and carried them to the front porch. She had to fight with her keys and the lock to get her door open. Once she got the door opened, she picked the bags back up and carried them inside. She was closing the door with her foot when a voice from the living room said, "Well, don't you look delicious."
