“That’s really what you’ll look like next?” Jack’s expression says he likes the idea.
“Still here, this me, if you don’t mind. An’ don’t tell me you like pretty boys.”
Jack’s eyes dance. “Not jealous of yourself, Doctor? Besides, the last you was a pretty boy. Don’t remember you complaining that I liked you then.”
