Gregory Q. Sharpe

“Hope that doesn’t mean you don’t want to kiss me.” Fallon admitted, teasing him as she walked into the cafeteria and towards the coffee station. “How do you take it?”

“I certainly want to kiss you. I just also don’t want to push my luck and ruin a date...” He grinned a bit, tucking his hands in his pockets. “Two creams, please.”  

“Well, if you need anything, let me know. I’d be more than happy to help you out with anything you may need.”

Greg gave a small smile and nodded.  “Thank you. I appreciate it.” 

“You’re welcome. I take it you don’t get told that, that often?” 

“You’re such a good cousin, Greg,” she smirked as she handed him the shot glass. “And if you need a break, you can always let me know. I’m sure I can help you out somehow.”

“I can always use a break, but I am good for now.” He grinned a bit, reaching out to take the glass and holding up. “Cheers...” He said before throwing it back.

“I guess that is true…” Fallon laughed softly, tugging her hair behind her ear.  She looked at him, furrowing her brow slightly at his question before shrugging. “Um, it might, yeah.” She nodded. “But that does mean that you have a better chance of getting a kiss after it.” She smirked a bit, leading him towards the cafeteria.

Greg smiled a bit and nodded. “Well, we will see how it goes... I promise not to push my luck.” he chuckled a bit, walking alongside her to the cafeteria. 

“Honestly when a dad says they’re trying, that means they are doing a great job. And I for one think that is amazing. My dad never said that to anyone. But he also wasn’t a good dad either.” 

He only hoped that he could make up for all the years with Kane. He smiled gently. “thank you. It means a lot to hear someone say that...”

“Lucky me,” she teased as she poured them both a shot. “I think you got enough others to worry about.”

“I got a lot of people to worry about, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a giant spot for you...” He said in a soft voice, reaching out for the shotglass.

Kane grabbed his coat and keys, checking to make sure he had his wallet before following them outside and getting into the car.  He looked over at his dad.  “You know, if Nate dying has taught you anything, it should be that you need to tell people how you really feel about them. Before it’s too late.”

Fallon nodded, looking at him. “I feel bad that you came all this way just to ask me on a date.” She mused.  “Can you at least have a bad cup of hospital coffee with me?”

“You have no reason to feel bad. I was the one who decided to come here...” He chuckled a bit and nodded, “--but I would love to have a bad cup of hospital coffee with you. But does that mean our date later is our second date?” 

Fallon couldn’t help but smile at him as he stammered his way through his statement.  “No, no, no, I don’t hate it. Promise.” She nodded, looking at him. “I would like to go to dinner with you.  I get off in an hour and after that I should probably shower and change and everything. But I can do seven, if that woks for you?”

Greg smiled gently as she shut down his apologies. He gave a small nod, licking his bottom lip. “Seven... that sounds perfect.” He agreed, taking a step back. “Text me your address and I will pick you up.” 

“That’s probably a good thing,” she said. Poor Keegan. Losing not just his mother but now his uncle? It hurt her knowing that he would have to live with the knowledge that he never really got to spend time with either of them. “There’s always regrets we have. It just sucks that you never realize it until it’s too late.”

Greg let out a small sigh and nodded slightly. He frowned a bit, reaching for his drink. “I never should have been so hard on him... I won’t make that mistake again. Which means you just gained a very annoying, overprotective cousin...” He teased.

Bianca smiled a little. “Eh, don’t worry, we all have those kind of days.” She said, looking back at him. “I’m heading home.”

“Definitely a plus.” Alexandra chuckled, reaching for her coffee with a little shake of her head. “Sometimes all the rules can be pretty frustrating and… restricting so I can see the plus side.” Though of course Alex liked her rules, loved them in fact.

“Oh I bet. I think that is amazing. A lot of parent’s I have met would never say things about their kids that way. I’m glad there is one who will say that.”
