Elizabeth was in the kitchen cooking when she heard laughing coming from the living room. She leaned her head out to see Jason and Cameron playing on the couch, with Jason apparently making faces from the movie they were watching. Smiling, she went back to cooking.

"Hey, Liz...you know I can cook if you want. you spent all day at work. You can rest."Jason insisted, spotting her out of the corner of his eye.

"No, it's fine. I've got everything covered. Don't worry, Jason."She insisted.

He sighed, settling into the couch, looking around. They had only been living there for a little while, but Elizabeth had already managed to make the penthouse look like home. There were pictures on the fireplace, and a blanket tossed over the arm of the chair. A few of Cameron's toys were on the floor, but out of the way. It took him a moment to realize, but he knew then that he'd done the right thing by asking her to stay. Distracted, Jason jumped a littloe when he felt the tap on his shoulder.

"Mister Jason..."

Jason turned his head to see Cameron looking up at him. "Yeah?"

"Game?"The little boy said, pointing to the table. There was a deck of 'go fish' cards that Elizabeth had bought for him, and seeing them he thought that maybe his mom's friend would want to play, too.

"Uh...do you know how to play?"Jason asked, picking up the card box.

"Kinda. Mommy taught me."Cameron said, proudly.

"Yeah, but he cheats."Elizabeth said from the kitchen. "Ow!"

Jason frowned, going to see what had happened. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah."Elizabeth said, staring down at her hand. "ooh, it hurts. But it's nothing. I'm fine."

"What happened?"

"I was..frying the hamburger...amd it..popped."

"Here-"Jason said, brushing his hand against hers so he could take the pan handle from her. "I can take this."

She smiled, shrugging. "Okay. But Jason-"

"It's no big deal. Trust me."

"I was going to make spaghetti..or something. The water's boiling now."She said, heading out of the room. Smiling, she sat down next to Cameron on the couch, smiling. "Hey buddy...you okay?"

"Yep."Cameron said, leaning into her. "I love you, mommy."

Elizabeth laughed, pulling her son close to her. "I love you too, Cam."She said, kissing the top of his head.

A little while later, Jason had finished dinner and they sat comfortably at the table. "Mmm..."Cameron said, giving his approval.

Jason laughed, grabbing his fork. "I guess that's a compliment."

"I guess so."Elizabeth said, taking a bite. "Jason, this is good. I mean, really...it's good."

"Thank You."He said, finding himself staring at her. "So..."He said, hoping he wasn't making things awkward. "How was your day?"

Elizabeth wiped her mouth with a napkin and took a sip from her drink. "It was good...tiring, I guess. I, uh...I talked to Carly."

"She got to you, too?"Jason asked, a little annoyed. "I don't know what it is with her. She wants me to talk to Sonny?"

She nodded.

Jason shrugged, taking a bite of the garlic bread.

"Are you?"Elizabeth asked, tentative. "I mean, I know it's none of my business. I just figured-"

"It's fine."Jason replied, nodding. "I have to go over some paperwork with him tomorrow...but it'll be casual. Nothing huge or anything."

She nodded, knowing it was none of her business and finished eating.

After dinner, Elizabeth volunteered for dishes, if only for a moment to leave. It was still registering. Jason. Her. Kissing. She put her hand to her lips, still remembering the way it happened. They hadn't exactly talked about it, and had instead played it out like nothing. But on the inside, she was dwelling on it. She couldn't stop thinking about it. Clearly something was happening between them that until the kiss, neither of them had given it much thought.

Shaking the memories away momentarily, Elizabeth focused her attention on washing a plate in the sink, watching the water bounce ryhtmically with the movement of her hand. Turning her head, she saw Jason standing in the kitchen doorway. Smiling, Elizabeth felt a certain amount of nervouness, curious as to why he was standing there.

"Hey."

"Hey...can I help with some of that?"He asked, trying to make himself useful.

Elizabeth shook her head, turnin her attention back to the sink. "No, It's fine. Thanks for the offer. I've got it covered."

Jason nodded, sensing her mood. Leaning against the doorway, he looked back out at Cameron, making sure that everything was fine before turning his attention back to Elizabeth. "Listen-"He said, coughing. "About last night..."

"It's fine, Jason."Elizabeth assured.

"I just-"He sighed, trying to choose his words carefully.

Elizabeth pulled her hands out of the sink, drying them. Thankful that the dishes were done, she turned back to Jason, knowing what was about to be said.

"What's going on here? This...thing between us?"

Shrugging, Elizabeth stared at him. "I don't know, Jason. What happened...the kiss-something had to have happened to make that happen."

Jason nodded, staring down at the floor. "It's just..Carly claims there's something. And Sam has said stuff, too."He said, deep in thought. "But when I kissed you-it was different. I don't mean..'different' different. But-It was me..and you, you know. And, uh..."He said, rubbing his hand on his face.

"So..."Elizabeth said, walking towards him. "we both agree that there is definately something happening here."

"Yeah."

She sighed, feeling herself blush a little. "I think the only thing remaining now is..what do we do about it?"
