“Sure,” Harrison replied plaintively , “I just don’t want to see her get her hopes up. There are plenty of other lovely places in Metro with flowers.” He wasn’t sure what else to say and he was starting to wish he had a drink or something else in his hand he could distract himself with.
As if on cue, one of the waiters finally stopped gawking at the blue visitors, and came over to serve them. Jack ordered a small hot chocolate, before answering Harrison. “I think as long as I can make everything else special for her, the location won’t matter so much.” In spite of the awkward situation, he smiled.
Harrison ordered a hot chocolate as well, with a shot of caramel sauce then turned back to the conversation at hand. “I don’t want to sound like a negative nelly, but have you two discussed security?” he asked. “I know Katelynn has made some enemies in this city and given what happened to Grace…..” he trailed off.
Jack froze. He hadn’t given any thought to security, and now he was ashamed of himself for forgetting it. Harrison was right – with Katelynn’s history, and the kind of luck the two of them seemed to attract, they would need all the defenses they could.
“I’m afraid we h-haven’t,” he admitted, embarrassed to hear his stutter come back. “But you’re right, we are going to need it. What do you recommend?"
