Timed to the 22nd

Alex is in a shitty, shitty mood. She has been for days, since the first argument with Darlington but now, after the conversation that they'd had in his apartment, the things that both of them had said, she's just fucking furious. She's not down to work tonight and she just needs to get out of her own head so she picks up her phone and texts Caleb.

want to hang out? xA

While she's waiting for him to respond, she gets in the shower and washes her hair, tries to scald the irritation out of her with hot water.

It's not entirely successful.

The text surprises him, but it's a welcome reprieve from his own head. Since getting Michael back, things have been tense and uncomfortable. He's tried to be there for him, to help him through this, but it's so much harder than he'd expected. How could he expect to actually help people with their problems when he can't even handle feeling them, himself?

He answers quickly, then changes back out of his post-shower clothes and into jeans and a shirt that he'd actually want to be caught in public wearing. They agree to meet at her place, since they have no idea how many, if any, 'grays' are around Candlewood. So he heads over, texting Clint.

He doesn't know why he texts Clint. They didn't have plans tonight. They don't really have plans ever, but they've been talking a lot more, and hanging out, and it seems like the thing to do when he realizes he's going to be busy for the rest of the night.

When he gets to Alex's apartment, he smiles, already scoping the place out for the various things he remembers she'd bought.
