[One thing is always true about the Sorenson family.

Eventually, one way or another, they always wind up at their sister's front door.

Jackson, however, at least gives advanced notice, knocks when he arrives, and usually offers to cook. Noah, while lovely company, needs to learn to call in advance.

Still, all the same, she answers the knock on her door with a small smile, before holding out her arms for a hug.]

Hey.

[overdramatized]

[ If Noah were still crashing, he wouldn't have gone by at all. But, Noah's been out for a few weeks now.

And sometimes you just need to see your big sister. Even if you're taller. ]

Hey. [ Give him a second, he holds up two bags. ] I stopped at Whole Foods. [ Did her fridge need to be stocked? Oh well, he has enough for dinner and then some. But he sets them aside and gives her a hug. Because sister hugs are the best hugs. ]

[agoldenring]

[They are the best hugs. She slips her arms around him and pulls him in closer.]

Thanks. Everything okay?

[overdramatized]

[ He pulls back. ]

We broke up.

[ And then he lets go, picks up the bag and takes it into her mostly unused kitchen. And now he remembers her stove is a problem. What a crap stove. ]

You know, the landlord should really do something about your oven. [ But, he unloads his bag, anyway. ]

[agoldenring]

He's working on it.

[She takes a beat.]

He dump you or you dump him?

[overdramatized]

He's been working on it for months. I feel like I should refer you to a lawyer by this point.

[ Well. That question. As he unpacks. ]

He doesn't want to do long distance. And I can't blame him. [ It's what happened when he lived in New York and Jackson relocated to L.A. ] Adam always lived in New York. [ He pauses what he's doing, and he looks up. ] He said he'd think about it. I actually thought it might come out in my favor. [ Another pause. ] At least I know that distance doesn't make the heart grow fonder. He met someone else. [ Folding his bag, he moved to the back door and hung it on the doorknob. ] The bastard told me in bed.

[agoldenring]

[There's a long pause. She's going to ignore the lawyer part and focus on her brother's boyfriend being a dick.]

I'm gonna have his knee meet my crowbar.

[overdramatized]

No. No. You're not. Because he's in a separate city on the opposite coast of this country. And unlike our dad and our brother, we're trying to be the siblings without a record.

[ How about we maintain that? Okay? ]

[agoldenring]

[Lara makes a face.]

Can I threaten to have his knee meet my crowbar?

[overdramatized]

Also an actionable offense.

[ Your brother doesn't approve. ]

[agoldenring]

[She makes a face. You're just killing her fun, Jackson.]

Get you super drunk and not tease you about the hangover in the morning?

[overdramatized]

Sold. To the persistent blonde.

[agoldenring]

I'll get the booze.

[overdramatized]

And I'll hide my phone. [ So neither one of them dials a certain someone. ] Hey - I want to be the one to tell Noah. You understand? [ Mostly because Noah would catch a plane. ]

[agoldenring]

[ She nods in agreement, going to fetch a bottle of whiskey from her personal stash. ]

Don't worry. I wasn't going to say anything.

[overdramatized]

Now, let's see about getting drunk off our asses.
