The front door opened and Brenda poked her head out of the dining room. "Just in time. Rusty made flatbreads."
"Smells great. How can I help?"
"You can turn your phone off and sit down." Rusty teased, "I spent an hour slaving away over a hot stove and I don't want you running out of here."
"You got it." Sharon smiled and took out her phone and shutting it off.
The three were about halfway through with dinner when Rusty cleared his throat, "so Daniel came today like you said he would, huh?"
"Yes." Sharon said tersely, the idea of Daniel Dunn still leaving a bad taste in her mouth. "He wants to i'apologize'/i."
Brenda scoffed, pushing a bite of broccoli into her mouth to keep her own thoughts on the subject silenced.
"So not returning his calls was the right thing to do?"
"Oh yes," she nodded, "I wouldn't have been able to record him in a phone conversation without a warrant but his apology could work perfectly as a spontaneous confession."
Brenda put her hand over Sharon's. Even when she was pissed off she was still logical.
"So I don't have to see him again, right?" Rusty frowned. Sharon bit the inside of her lip, the sight of his bruised flesh still filling her with anger and sadness.
Sharon gave him a small mollifying smile. "it'll be uncomfortable for a few minutes and then a chance to solve this problem forever."
"You sure about all this?"
"Honey, I do this for a living. Rusty, if you change your mind we can still arrest him, otherwise at 4 o' clock tomorrow: two minutes, you're done."
Rusty smiled, "and I get to stay here."
"For as long as you want."
I know these last two are crazy short but I had to finish 1-10 before I started watching season 2 and I'm already two episodes behind! Ah! okay, so hopefully season two's first two episodes will get written and posted asap! Thanks for being patient with me!
