Rebekah said softly as she and Jason opened the front door to make their way out of the house. Danny looked up, surprised to hear her voice. “Where are the two of you headed?” “The girls are at my parent’s house,” she answered. “We told them we would come by and take everyone to dinner so the house will be empty for a couple of hours.” “Thanks,” Danny replied struck by the cool reception he was receiving from his two friends. “You know,” he started, but Jason held his hand up to stop him. “I’ve known both of you for a long time, Danny,” Jason said. “And I’ve never, ever seen that woman in there as worn out as she is right now. I’m trusting you to fix it.” “I’ll do my best.” “Do better than that.” The two men stared at each other, the strength behind Jason’s words hitting home. It was the closest to a ‘big brother threat’ Danny had ever heard from his friend and he knew Jason was serious.
