Kent Parson has known Jack Zimmermann for 5 months and 17 days. He's known Alicia Zimmermann for about two weeks less than that. And up until now , he didn't think Alicia was insane but apparently she is because the stuff she just said , Kent can't believe he just heard.
"Yeah, Jack is going to miss you when you're in back in New York , so we thought we should a group dinner before then."
Kent swears everybody can tell how wide his eyes are right now and how he's just gapping like a fish out of water.
"Alicia and I will also miss you , just maybe not as much." With this Bob throws a smirk over to his son.
And Jack, Kent notices, is red-cheeked and staring at his plate. Oh, Jack probably just needs Kent to tell Alicia it's no big deal and that Jack (and the rest of them ) won't have time to miss him. And Kent will, he swears he will tell her that, as soon as his mouth can work again.
After taking a drink of his juice, to buy himself some time, Kent tugs his lips up into a smile and tells her exactly what he planned.
His plan didn't include all three Zimmermanns looking at him likes he's the crazy one at this table - Kent is still adding that trophy to Alicia's award cabinet.
He's about to open his mouth to say sorry or something however Bob beats him to it and says "Of course, we will, Alicia needs a blonde companion around"
Jack hooks his foot around Kents ankle and at Kents questioning look , just gives a slight nod of his head. In the near 6 months Kent Parson has known the Zimmermanns he has never been so confused.

For the couple of weeks Kent has let the thought of what happens after the draft to not enter his mind. The draft it self is all but a low humming thought in his brain.
That is until Bob had to go and ruin it. It a small comment , not really meant to mean anything more than a chirp , but to Kent it feels like a bulldozer entered his heart and left with it.
"Well, don't worry about that , I'm sure even with you two on opposite sides of the country, Jack will still miss you"
It was meant to be a joke. Making fun of how Kent is always by Jack's side. How even after the draft nothing will tear them apart. It was a jab at how Kent needed to be reassured of someone missing him.
Bob thinks that distance isn't something that will cause Jack to forget him. With how Jack has been acting lately- avoiding any mention of New York or Las Vegas - Kent thinks Bob might be wrong.

"Yeah, sure , I'll tell him."
Kent left the room for one minute to collect the take out and in that one minute Jeff gets a serious call. That's it he's never ordering from here again.
"Who was that?" Jeff looks up from his phone - wait isn't that Kent's?
"Is that my phone?"
"It rang so I answered it for you. It was Jack Zimmermann"
Kent grabs the phone , dropping the take out, and demanding Jeff tells him what Jack wanted
"He said that he misses you and hopes we do well in the playoffs- if we get there."
Kent started sailing his phone as soon as Jeff said 'misses' but still asks him "He really said that?"
"Yeah, I know right , we are totally going to playoffs"
"No, the missing me part?"
"Yeah, it was the first thing he said, then he realised I had answered."
Jack's not picking up the phone so Kent tries again.
And again.
He tries until Jeff gets annoyed and tells him just to leave a message.
Kent leaves one when he tells Jack how he misses him too that lasts about two minutes long.
Jeff never answers Kent phone for him again.
