"I would, but I've already got a lot of schoolwork to do, and it's only going to get worse as the year goes on. I can manage Skype calls, but not whole days off."

"Mhmm. What about on a break?" Ben suggested.

by **feathertail** Fri Oct 02, 2015 3:57 pm

Owen snorted into the receiver. "That's when teachers set the most homework,"

by **Caroline Berry** Fri Oct 02, 2015 5:26 pm

Ben sighed. "Alright." he said. "I can't promise that my partner and I will adopt another child, I have to discuss that with him."

"Just talk to Jo and make her happy, that's all I want. "

by **Caroline Berry** Sat Oct 03, 2015 12:09 am

Ben pursed his lips. "I've told you what would make her happy. And, sir, you don't even want to try that. So really, sir, you need to shape up as well."

"I don't want to try that? No, I don't want to fail my only chance at getting somewhere in the world, thank you very much," Owen grunted out, then ended the call.

Ben chuckled.

Tom leaned against the doorframe.

by **Caroline Berry** Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:04 pm

Ben hadn't noticed Tom yet so he hung the phone up and sighed, running a hand through his hair.

by **feathertail** Sat Oct 03, 2015 10:29 pm

"Was that last bit necessary?" Tom asked

by **Caroline Berry** Sun Oct 04, 2015 8:10 am

Ben looked up. "Am I about to get a lecture on how to talk to young men who say I can't keep my daughter happy?" he asked, a ghost of a smile on his face.

by **feathertail** Sun Oct 04, 2015 8:18 am

"She has been a bit down," Tom acknowledged. "And I think she suspects I'm going somewhere too."

by **Caroline Berry** Sun Oct 04, 2015 8:20 am

"Why don't we just tell them?" Ben asked, slightly frustrated. He grabbed a few papers on his desk and straightened them out.

by **feathertail** Sun Oct 04, 2015 8:29 am

Tom sighed. "Yes, whatever," he huffed.

by **Caroline Berry** Sun Oct 04, 2015 8:35 am

"I just don't understand why it's such a big secret." Ben said, looking at Tom. "It's a business trip."

by **feathertail** Sun Oct 04, 2015 8:45 am

"I'm not good with goodbyes," Tom shrugged.

by **Caroline Berry** Sun Oct 04, 2015 8:47 am

Ben rested his head in his hands.

by **feathertail** Sun Oct 04, 2015 8:52 am

"Well, I'm packed,"

by **Caroline Berry** Sun Oct 04, 2015 8:54 am

"Alright." Ben said tiredly.

by **feathertail** Sun Oct 04, 2015 8:58 am

Tom turned and went to find Jo.

by **Caroline Berry** Sun Oct 04, 2015 9:00 am

Jo sat on her bed reading a book.

by **feathertail** Sun Oct 04, 2015 9:09 am

Tom knocked on the door gently.

by **Caroline Berry** Sun Oct 04, 2015 9:21 am

Jo made a noise to let the person know they could come in, she was too into the book to actually speak.

by **feathertail** Sun Oct 04, 2015 9:29 am

Tom quietly opened the door, stepping inside and closing it behind him.
