WHO: Jo Harvelle-Wuornos and Matt Donovan
WHAT: Cleaning up after closing at the Roadhouse.
WHERE: The Roadhouse.
WHEN: Late night
WARNINGS/RATINGS Fairly lowish.

Jo couldn't believe that in just a couple of weeks, she would have been in Colligo for a year. It was kind of surreal, really. Sure, the city threw a lot of obstacles at her, but she wouldn't trade her life here for anything. She was happy. She had family, friends, a wonderful husband, and they were going to have a baby. Life was pretty good.

And it had actually been what Jo would have called a slow night at the Roadhouse, which was normally packed with people. Okay, so maybe it was still packed, but it hadn't been as packed as it had been the night before, when everyone was in and out of the bar, celebrating the holiday.

Jo was cleaning the bar, while Matt, who had also closed that night with her, cleaned the tables. Jo liked working with Matt. While she didn't know him especially well, she did know that he was a nice guy, and a real hard worker, and that went a long way in Jo's book.

"I'm going to heat up some of those buffalo wings that we have leftover," she said to him. "Want me to make you something, too?"

Matt really did like working a the Roadhouse even if he still didn't think Jude liked him. He missed some of his friends from back home like Tyler but he did feel like he was starting to get used to this place.

He wiped off a table with a towel after spraying it down. After the fourth it was nice to have a quiet night or quietish night.

Jo was pretty nice and he liked her as a boss. She definitely seemed to work pretty hard on getting the staff to work together well.

"Wings sound good to me too," Matt says giving her a smile, "If there are any more that we have left-over."

	"Pretty sure we definitely have enough wings," Jo said, going to heat some up. "You want anything else with them? Fries, soda?" Jo popped the wings in the oven for her and Matt, and grabbed a bowl of popcorn for them while they waited. "Tables look pretty clean to me, Matt." She said, smiling. "Now, it's time to just relax."

	"Thanks," Matt says, "I could use a chance to relax and take a break." "Soda works," Matt says going behind the bar, "I can get that myself though. Would you like me to get you any?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm fine," Jo said. "Sit down, relax." She smiled as she went to go get them both drinks. "You've earned it. You worked hard tonight, Matt. Of course, you always work hard, which is a good thing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thanks," Matt says, "I just do what I'm supposed to do is all." Most people around there worked just as hard as him and Jo and Jude definitely worked the hardest of all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You do what you're supposed to do and more," Jo said. "Which is a really good quality to have, really." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I suppose it probably is a good quality to have," Matt says. "How of curiosity how long have you been working here?" Jo did seem to have a strong personal connection to the place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ever since I got here, if we're counting Colligo time." Jo said. "If we're not, then pretty much my entire life. Well...since I was fifteen, but before then I always helped out my mom in the kitchen." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sounds like you probably have some really good memories of this place," Matt says. He liked the grill back when he worked there but he didn't really have that kind of connection. (Reply to this) (Parent)
