Who: Jenna and Adam.
What: Bumping into each other.
Where: In town.
When: Aug. 15, afternoon/early evening.
Rating: Probably pretty tame.

Jenna had just gotten out of work. Her feet ached and she was more than a little annoyed with her inability to say no. Despite being a tickets salesgirl she somehow kept getting suckered into helping the cleaning crew. Needless to say she was a little distracted by the continued treachery of her co-workers. However, if it weren’t for her inability to say no Jenna would never have found the missing money that as it turned out belonged to Kaylee. So maybe it wasn’t so bad, even if the people she worked with took advantage of it.

For the most part she was looking forward to making it home and grabbing a good book to curl up with in the backyard. Glancing at her watch Jenna realized that if she hurried she’d be able to claim the hammock before her brother did for his siesta before dinner. Unfortunately for her she didn’t take quite a good enough look around before picking up the pace and bumped rather hard into another person.

Adam was quite glad she didn't laugh when he pulled the 'good cop' type of line. But, really, he owed her at least one laugh at his expense for his earlier slip of chuckling at her.

Since he'd had no destination in mind for the rest of the day, it wasn't an inconvenience at all to turn and backtrack the way he'd came, showing Jenna to where his Ford was parked at the side of the street.

"Jump in," he said to her from across the car roof, swinging open the driver's door before taking his own advice and settling into the seat. "Sat nav has always seemed pointless here, but I've been driving around the area for years, so I can take you anywhere without too many wrong turns."

Honestly, Jenna had found the line particularly cheesy. She just was a little more concerned with the serious nature of the question that led to it to really answer. One track mind, yeah that was Jenna.

She waited for him to start in the cars direction before starting to follow. It wasn't a long walk from where they'd bumped into each other and she noticed that he'd had to turn around to lead the way. Even though he'd offered to give her the ride she couldn't help but feel just the slightest bit like she was being a bit of a pain in the rear. So when she found herself in front of the passenger side door of the car she decided she should apologize.

"Sorry, for taking up your time like this, but uh thanks for the ride." She muttered as she pulled open the door and got settled in the passenger seat. Her seat belt clicking into place once she'd adjusted its slack to her liking. "It is a pretty small island, but you can drop me off at the corner of Sylvia and Driscoll?"
