S5E12: The Dinner

Morning
[the plaza]
*Jo, Hallie, Nancy, and Nathan were sitting at the plaza together.*

Jo: So then, he gave me a call back, and got me an interview!

Everyone: Yay, congratulations!

Nancy: When is it?

Jo: It's tomorrow. So, Aaron asked me if I wanted to meet up for dinner tonight to prepare for the interview.

*Nina walked over and handed Jo coffee that she got up to get.*

Jo: Thanks.

Nancy: So- you said no, right?

Jo: No. I said yes.

Hallie: Does Tucker know?

Jo: Uhh... no.

Nathan: Uh-oh.

Nancy: Ooh.

Jo: He actually doesn't even know I quit freshmart.

Nancy: Jo. You have to tell him.

Jo: I know. I'm just afraid he'll be mad.

Hallie: Why would he be mad?

Jo: Because- I don't know. I mean, I know there's nothing to get mad over. But what if he's sad, or hurt. I mean, we met there and he loves working together.

Nancy: I get that. But you live together now. I think it's okay if you work in different places.

Nina: Yeah.

Hallie: I agree.

Jo: Okay, fine. I'll tell him.

Nancy: By the way, does anyone know where Steven is?

Everyone: Blake.

Nancy: Oh.

That Same Time
[FreshMart Grocery]
*Tucker walked up to Chuck.*

Tucker: Chuck! There you are, hey.

Chuck: What can I do for ya?

Tucker: I just... last week I noticed you didn't put me and Jo's shifts together. I wasn't gonna say anything, but it happened this week, too. I know it's weird to ask, but can you try and put more of our shifts together?

Chuck: Okay, one. I don't do the shifts. I'm not the shift manager. I'm just the manager. And two, Jo quit like a week ago. So, she's not even on the schedule at all, if you haven't noticed.

Tucker: W- what? Jo didn't quit.

Chuck: Yes she did.

Tucker: No she didn't.

Chuck: Tucker, why would I lie to you?

Tucker: You tell me.

Chuck: Quit it. And get back to work.

Tucker: I'm on break.

Chuck: For twenty minutes? Go.

*Tucker walked away back to work.*

That Evening
[Jo and Tucker's house]
*Jo walked out of the bedroom all dressed and looked nice. She was putting in earrings while Tucker came through the front door.*

Jo: Hey.

Tucker: Where are you going?

Jo: Out.

Tucker: Out where?

Jo: Just out.

Tucker: To work? Certainly not.

Jo: What?
