to move out.

Carly: Have you talked to him?
Jason: No. Not lately. Luckily. Why?
Carly: I was just wondering. ( she looks off) He's probably on his business
trip. Won't be back for another 3 1/2weeks ............
Jason: Carly?
Carly: Jase? Why don't I just go home. With Michael.
Jason: No way Carly. You need to be taken care of .
Carly: We'd be fine, and soon Jax would be home and......
Jason: That is not what I meant when I said " taken care of"

at them,
with a sad expression. He knew there were more tuff times ahead. Brenda
walked in, she walked over to him, and they looked on.
