Hawthorne Apartment, Early Morning, Gilly, Stone, Poe & Lara via Phone and such
Gilly didn't remember falling asleep. She remembered crying, and laying all the frames in the apartment to keep from having to look at all the pictures. She also remembered thinking over and over about how J was dead and she all the things that were never going to happen.

So now Gilly was awake, have sat bolt upright in her spot along Stone's couch. How had she gotten to Stone's couch? She was breathing pretty heavy and her hair was matted to her face since it was kind of soaked wit sweat. She was also hyperventilating. It didn't take long for Poe, who'd fallen asleep along the other length of the couch, to wake up to Gilly's heavy breathing. Gilly heard her asking if everything was okay in a confused tone. Gilly realized about that that she'd been having a dream - one of those dreams. Her heart wouldn't stop pounding and she felt like she was suffocating.

Poe brushed some of Gilly's hair out of her face, alarmed at the trouble she was having breathing. "Gilly? What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" She was highly confused, so she started yelling for Stone.

It took Stone a few moments to groggily appear, eyes half closed, in his pajama pants. "What's going on?" He asked as he flipped on a light, which made him and Poe cringe. Gilly was staring at them, wide-eyed and unable to catch her breath no matter how she breathed at all. Stone blinked at Gilly and then Poe next to her, trying to calm her down, and then moved to grab the cordless from the end table. He dialed Lara's number and waited through some ringing.

Lara blinked and turned to look down the hall. Oh yeah, privacy and stuff. She took another glance into the living room and then walked over to the Hawthornes.

"Hey," she said quietly, glancing at Poe briefly before looking up at Stone.

Poe gave Lara a wave and then went back to the sink to look out the window. Gilly was definitely having a hard time pulling it together even as J did her best at coddling her. J was fairly close to losing it herself, especially with the extra hormones. But she was J, so she didn't lose it, she just kept trying to console Gilly instead.

Stone waited for Lara to get close enough and was going to hug her but wasn't sure if she wanted him to or not so he stopped in the process of opening his arms and put them on his hips instead. "Hey..." He said, maybe a little awkwardly as he arched his eyebrows at her. "Y'okay?"

Lara thought for a second there that Stone was going to hug her, but then he didn't. So she crossed her arms, which was sort of like hugging herself. In a way.

"Yeah," she nodded. "Just a little..." She lifted one hand off her arm and made a vague gesture with her fingers next her head. The post-dream mental adjustment period seemed to be get worse every time they happened. For Lara, anyway.

They felt worse for Stone too, or he thought they did. They made him think too much and that was pretty dangerous. Anyway, he kind of wanted to hug her anyhow, but he waited, at least until she spoke. He nodded and then gave in and stepped closer so he could reach out and hug her. "Yeah...it's...weird."

Lara breathed out when he hugged her, and she moved her arms around him. Yeah, dream-induced thinking sucked.

She stayed quiet for a little bit and then loosened her arms and tilted her head back to look up at him. "Are you okay?"

Stone just held on until Lara leaned back. He didn't loosen his grip though, just looked down at her. After a moment he nodded. "Yeah. Just...y'know. The usual." He nodded and then, what the hell, leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Are you?" He asked out of reflex really since he'd asked her before.

Lara rolled her eyes up to watch him as he kissed her forehead. She still had her arms around him too, and gave him a little squeeze around the middle in response.

"Yeah," she nodded with a tiny smile since she had to tell him this again. She was a lot better now that she wasn't alone, although the weirdness factor had gone up a bit since she saw Stone.

Stone frowned a little as he heard Gilly sniffle and let out a strange sound, no doubt some stuff getting caught up in her throat and vocal chords. It had to suck a lot for Gilly.

"...This mean we can plan another out-of-town trip?" He attempted a joke.

Lara craned her neck toward the window, but then let out a short, surprised laugh at Stone's comment. She looked back up at him and shrugged. "Just say the word," she said with a small smirk.

"Cucumber." Stone replied right away without much thought. It was rather fitting, and hey, his joke worked kinda. He nodded. "Got any deep desires to visit somewhere that you never got to before?" He arched his eyebrows.

Lara smirked a little bit and then shrugged again. She'd been to lots of places less in the past year. Most of them were dreamy, though.

"Anywhere that's not here would fit the bill."

Stone let out a little hum and swayed a little, not really thinking about it as he turned his head up toward the ceiling, squinting as he let out a little hum in thought, "Hmmmmm..."

He was quiet for a moment. "We could get some good tacos in Mexico." He looked down at her. "But that would involve meat. And prolly too far, huh?" He added. What? He was deflecting thoughts as far away from dream stuff as he could.

Lara was just fine with the swaying. It was only a little bit of swaying, after all. She had leaned her head back against his chest, but looked up at at his suggestion.

"Maybe a little too far," she confirmed with a nod. She still didn't feel totally comfortable with him always footing most of the bill for these numerous trips. She always tried to pay at least some amount. She wasn't some kind of golddigger, after all.

And Stone wasn't a stingy rich dude. "Okay...give me a measurement of some kind. What's too far and what's too close?" There was totally such a thing as too close by the way.

"I don't know," Lara shrugged once more with a sigh. She put her head back against him again. Anywhere really warm was pretty far, but she had to pick somewhere. "Miami?" Almost as far as Mexico, kind of, but still in the US so it didn't seem as far.

Stone thought about that for a moment. "Miami," he thought for a moment. "So we want beach-y then?" He smirked a little.
