Waking to the sound of his alarm, Deacon reaches on his night stand for his calendar.  He writes in one hundred and thirty two, circles it, and puts it back.  He picks up a small picture frame containing Katelyn’s picture and stares.

“I miss you so much”  

He takes his time in getting ready.  He is still tired from driving around all night, not to mention the emotions that kept him awake after he finally returned home.  Grabbing his keys, wallet and phone of the counter top, he closes the door leading to the garage behind him.  He starts his truck, and begins towards Greg’s house.  On the way, Deacon decides to stop at a fast food drive through, ordering breakfast for Greg and him, as a fed Greg is a much happier Greg.  Deacon was careful not to leave Lana out of the order and orders her favorite along with not forgetting the coffees.  Those two were going to need it after last nights drinking.  Deacon just needs one to help him wake up.  He pulls up to their house, taking their breakfast from the passenger’s seat and walks to the front door.  Just as he reaches the door, Greg opens it. 

Deacon shoves the food at Greg’s chest, and Greg thanks him as he tries to rub the sleepiness from his face.  Deacon informs him not to eat it all, as he got some for Lana also.  Greg tells him he only needs to grab his shoes and he is ready.  Lana walks out of the kitchen still looking half asleep and thanks Deacon for reminding her why she will never let Greg get a diesel pickup truck.  Bewildered by her greeting, Deacon asks her why.

“Because they are loud,” she answers as if the reason was obvious.    

Deacon replies with a smirk, “Not all of them are, just the ones that have had a lot of money sunk into them.” 
Greg cuts in and jokingly tells her that they do not have any money so she does not have to worry about it.  Her only response is that Greg will find a way.  She walks over to Greg, gives him a kiss, and tells them that they probably better be going.
