The moment Jack exited the association building with Slivia in tow, he felt a tug on his arm. He stopped and looked back to see her smiling from ear-to-ear.
"So, what do you have planned?" asked Slivia.
"Well, like I said, I've got to look for something and it would help to have another set of eyes on hand," replied Jack, still showing some pink in his cheeks.
"Can we get some food first? I haven't had lunch yet, and you left without finishing your food, right?"
Jack chuckled and scratched his head. "Yeah, I guess that's fine. How about there?" He pointed across the street to Jezelle's.
With a quick nod, Slivia grabbed Jack's arm and let him lead the way. He took a deep breath as they crossed the dirt road, calming his surprise from Slivia suddenly getting so close to him. The moment they entered, the scent of booze and roasted meat passed over them, enticing them both and leading them to some open seats at the bar.
