.
Andrea leans into Jackson's room.
Rustling from the closet, clothes strewn /everywhere.
"Jackson?"
""What?"" says the closet.
Andrea steps inside, ducks a flying shirt. "What're you doing?"
""Getting dressed."" Jackson emerges, brandishes two sweaters. "Green or burgundy?"
"Umm ... burgundy?"
"Thanks." Jackson tosses the green aside, climbs inside the other—
"What's—"
—/skips by—
"Are you okay?"
—ducks into the washroom, prods his hair—
"Earth to Jackson?"
—turns, smiles expectantly.
"What's going on with you tonight?"
"Wha?"
"You've got a really dopey smile stuck to your face."
"What're you talking about?"
Andrea smiles, 'never mind'.
Jackson scoffs, rubs foundation on his nose. "I helped bring Chuck back to her room and she said 'he loves me' and she said so happily." Tidies the counter. "So I'm going to ask her about it."
A number of things flit across Andrea's face and then she smiles. "Was she concussed?"
"What? No. She was asleep."
Andrea nods. "You keep thinking that's what she said."
Jackson faces her. "How's my hair?"
"Great for someone who's just confirming that someone else doesn't love them."
"Awesome." Considers himself. "Maybe I /should go with the green ...."
