Caleb and Dakota came out of the bedroom meeting up with Dusty and Hope. “Are you guys ready to go to the resort to relax and plan things out?” Caleb chimes,

“Yes, last night was stressful.” Hope exclaims as they head towards the jeep,

“I love the two of you out, but I miss touching my man!” Dakota giggles,

“I can totally agree. Let’s get to this resort and enjoy the weekend! Are you ready?” Everyone smiles as they piled the suitcases into the jeep, then they head towards the resort.

Carson was in and out of meetings, during the morning. He was so busy that he ate lunch during a meeting. After the lunch meeting, his receptionist Kris informed Carson that Mr. Williams was requesting a meeting at 2pm.

“Thank you Kris. Have Anne show him to my office as soon as he gets here.”
                                                                      Carson strides towards his office wondering how to get control of the situation of Caleb and Dakota. Inside his office, Jax was waiting,

“Are you stressed, Carson?” Carson closes his eyes for a few moments, until Anne interrupted his thoughts.

“Mr. Morgan, There is a Dr Eric Frey on line 3.”

“Thank you Anne, I’ll take the call.” Carson states flatly,

“Hello Dr. Frey, how is Celia doing these days?” A man on the line clears his throat,

“Mr. Morgan, we’ve had to medicate her in order to keep calm.” Carson’s brow arches before he responds,

“Dr. Frey, what has our dear Celia been doing to become agitated?” Dr. Frey softly chuckles,

“She desires to see her family, though she’s still struggling with her addiction. She’s been hounding me about seeing them.” Carson rubs his temple out of frustration,

“Maybe Daren or Dakota could go visit her. What are the terms of her sentencing? Please refresh me.”

“She was sentenced to two years. She’s only three months in.” Carson chuckles softly as well, .

“Sir, after two years, if she needs more assistance, so be it?” Dr. Frey clears his throat,

“Let me know when you need my assistance.” Carson softly smiles,

“Let her husband know she can have visitors. But if Dakota visits I need to know. And I want to know what happens.”

“Will do.” The men hang up, while Jax shakes his head,

“You wonder why I’m stressed, Jax?” then Carson’s phone buzzes,

“Hello Mr. Morgan, it’s Kris. Anne is escorting Mr. Williams to your office now.”

“Thank you, Kris. Please hold all of my calls. I don’t want to be disturbed. Am I clear”

“Sir, please let me know when you desire to receive calls” Moments later Daren Williams walks into Carson’s office, as Anne closes the door. Carson smiles as he greets Daren,

“Hello Mr. Williams, it’s an honor to be in your presence. How can I be of assistance?”

“I’m glad that you’re both here. I talked to Dakota this morning.” Daren looks at the men,
