Jack sits at a table near the door, sipping a cup of coffee and trying not to look nervous, though it's nearly impossible to do. While he's trying to look around the bar and keep an eye on things, his eyes keep straying back to the door.

Entering the house, Chris shuts the door behind her and kicks off her shoes. It's quieter than she expected and it takes her a minute to remember that she made plans with Jack to meet him at work. The house appeared to be empty and she wondered if Michelle was at the bar with him or if she was still at work.

Upstairs, she changes out of the skirt and blouse she'd worn to work and slips into a t-shirt, jeans and light gray cardigan. Washing her face, she wonders if Jack has anything planned for today. Her birthday had passed, both in there and outside. No anniversaries. His birthday was still a while away. She shakes the thought off and, instead of reapplying her makeup, just puts on some moisturizer and lip balm. Her hair stays up in the plastic clip she put it in to wash her face, she's too tired to try to do anything more with it.

Walking downstairs, she jots off a note to Michelle just in case she's still at work, then slips into her gym shoes and steps through the hall closet and into Milliways.

Movement by the door makes him look up, and he spots her as she comes in. Just seeing her puts a smile on his face, and he stands, walking over to her. "Hey, sweetheart," he says, touching her arm briefly as he leans in for a quick hello kiss. "How was work?"

"Tiring," she sighs, leaning on him for a moment she casts a glance at the bar. Alcohol sounded good about now. "And you? Is Michelle here?"

"Not that I know of; I haven't seen her at least. Hungry?" he asks, noticing her look toward the bar.
