°Maybe CJ was starting to relax a little, maybe, as he sat here with a cat that was full of secrets and in a house with too many lights on, maybe he didn't feel as bad as he had at first. Maybe, slowly, he was convincing himself that traffic was bad and that RJ was a by-the-rules guy when it came to driving.°
°But somewhere he knew his brother would have texted at a red light, or if things were at a standstill he would have said something. Recent events might have drained his usual energy to a degree, but he knew his brother. He would have said something, right? Jim would be ok. He would be. And they were going to watch something soft when he got home, after cat stuff set up was done. There would be popcorn again and even if he couldn't use his telescope it would be just like their usual movie nights.°
°That reminds him, it's the last full moon of the 2010s tonight, maybe they could see it together, just briefly, before going back inside. Could show the cat too. It sounded nice to him, he just wished RJ would say something..°
