Angel smiled across the kitchen table at Gray who was pretending to read the newspaper. "What's up today?" she asked sweetly over her cup of coffee.

His own cup of coffee was resting within distance to grab. He ruffled his paper a bit, set it down and took up the mug. "Nothing," he replied nonchalantly. There was nothing terribly interesting in the paper. He only bothered to read it because he couldn't write. He figured the words of others, or maybe the human condition in print might inspire him, but so far… nothing.

"Would you like to wander into the city for lunch?" she asked coyly. She didn't work at the asylum on Fridays, not unless she was called in. She'd be careful to "accidentally" forget her cell phone when they headed out. She liked to make sure her time with Gray was entirely uninterrupted when he was in a blue mood, which clearly he was. She knew he hadn't been able to write a word since they started their relationship. This led to frequent blue moods and heavy sighs.

"I suppose," he replied slowly. He took a long draught of his coffee and mused quietly over the liquid before speaking again. "Would you be wanting to meet your friends for lunch?" he asked slowly.

( Angel's face broke into a smile, as if she couldn't hide the surprise. )

Jasper's long length was stretched out, his bare feet sitting crossed on the second-hand coffee table. He had his head in one hand, his elbow resting on the arm of the sofa and his other arm stretched out on the back of the sofa behind Jane's head. There was a movie playing on his tv, but Jasper really had no idea what was going on in the movie. He had been paying more attention to Jane than the silly move. Suddenly he looked over at her with a smile. "Hey, you wanna go out tonight? We could go to a club or a movie or something," he suggested with a smile. They'd been sitting in his apartment all day, and he was starting to get antsy.

At that point there was a gentle knock on the door that drew his attention away from Jane. "Huh. Wonder who that is?" He spoke as he jumped up from the sofa.

"Mmm...Ben..."

Beverly mumbled in her sleep, nuzzling her face in against Leif's neck. She lazily started to open her eyes, realizing that she was not only cuddled up against someone nice and warm, but she also had her limbs tangled with his. Letting out a sigh, she opened her eyes slowly until the world -- or rather, some hair -- came into focus. She pulled her head back and blinked a couple of times, realizing that it was Leif, and the night before started to come back to her. As quietly and gently as she could, she started to untangle herself from him, hoping that she wouldn't wake him.
