Sandy came out of the bathroom a moment after the end of the call, straightening the sleeves on his borrowed shirt. Funnily enough, he and Scott shared a size of shoulders, but Scott was a few inches taller. It meant he was rolling those sleeves up just a little not to look silly. He'd already fixed the pants while he was in there.
He didn't say a word. Just went to the phone and placidly placed his call, keeping the actual content short.
"Gas station nearest to O'Hare. We'll meet you there in half an hour tops."
A beat before, softer, warmer--
"Thanks, Alan."
Once the phone was hung up again, he went to the coffee maker to get himself some coffee, started to step away, reconsidered, and grabbed the two 'guest' tea bags from the package near the pot. Both were popped into the remaining two paper coffee cups. He brought the first over to the table, nearest Allison, and put it down with a pair of sugar packets for her. The other was placed on the opposite side of the table with three sugar packets, nearer to Scott, before he made his way to the farthest corner from the both of them and sipped at his own drink.
