"We'll see." He was smiling, though. "Maybe." "He's cute," she stage-whispered as they headed for the checkout line. "He liked my slurping noise." "Oh, shut up." "You're telling me Jack got picked up at the grocery store?" Pacey picked at a plate of cheese and crackers that Andie had meticulously arranged and then foolishly abandoned on the kitchen counter. *** "He got picked up but good. And we're all going to this party, too, because he'll chicken out if we don't." Jen laid the groceries on the counter and folded up the bag. "Besides, I have a feeling we'll all be in a mood to unwind." "Don't start," Pacey warned, popping another cracker into his mouth. "Just don't start." Jack's voice drifted in from the living room. "Are you in there talking about me, Jen?" "No," she said sweetly. She slapped Pacey's hand away from the tray and picked it up, and he followed her into the living room, where Jack and Andie were sharing a couch. Just as they were about to sit down, there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it," Jen said as she set the tray down. Pacey stood, watching the door with some combination of anticipation and dread. Jen swung it open. "Hello, sweetheart," Gale gushed with a broad smile, giving Jen a motherly hug. Mitch followed close behind, kissing the top of Jen's head and handing her a loaf of nut bread. "Hi, you guys, come on in." Jen stood aside as they entered. "Where's Dawson?" "He's on his way in," Mitch said as he pulled off his coat and took Gale's from her. "He's got a gift for your Grams." Just then, Dawson appeared at the door, carrying a broad, flat package wrapped in brown paper. He set it down inside the door and went to Jen. "Hey, you." He hugged her enthusiastically and then pulled back to take off his coat. "It's for Grams. I flew it all the way here from Los Angeles, so I hope she likes it." "What is it? It looks like a painting or something." "It's a picture of you, actually, from when you visited this summer." His eyes swept the room, settling on the easiest task first. He walked over and bent to kiss Andie on the cheek. "You look great," he said approvingly as he took in her new shorter hair. "Hey, Jack." They shook hands, and then it was time.
"Pacey, it's really good to see you." He extended a hand. For a long moment, the room seemed to fill up with silence until it almost hummed. Finally, Pacey shook it and smiled. "It's good to see you too, man. Where's your girl?" This was something Dawson wasn't ready for. He looked blankly back at Pacey as his father disappeared with the coats and his mom headed for the kitchen. "She -- she's coming later with Bessie and Bodie." Pacey knew this, of course but he figured he had just spared the room about twenty minutes of <strong>Dawson's</strong> awkward efforts to share news that was coming anyway. "Come on, sit down." Pacey gestured toward an empty chair and then chose another for himself. "Tell me about California. How's school?" "School is just what I hoped it would be. A bunch of other people who are just as obsessed with movies as I am." He laughed weakly. "So it's been good. How's everything with you?" Jack fought the urge to drop to his hands and knees and make a desperate crawl for the door. Anything to get out of this room. "You know me, Dawson. Everything's always fine. I'm in school, I'm still living with Gretchen, I'm anxious to get back on my boat in the spring." "I was happy to hear that you had a new boat." Dawson clung to this new, unthreatening topic like a life preserver. "Tell me about it." "Well, it's no True Love," Pacey shrugged, "but I guess I'll take what I can get." <strong>Dawson's</strong> safe topic had just gone all Bermuda triangle on him. He turned to Jen, hoping for a rescue. "And how are you?" "Oh." She seemed surprised to suddenly have to participate in something she'd been gaping at like a car accident. "I'm fine. Still living here, going to school, working for . . . your parents . . . as you know . . . " it was a pathetic attempt. "I'm sleeping with a French soccer player," Andie suddenly blurted. "You -- you are?" Dawson nodded, chewing on this fact. "And how's that going?" Jack fought the urge to grab for the cheese knife and commit ritual suicide. *** Joey had been to Grams' house so many times that she knew exactly how long it usually took for Jen to come to the door.
