"She's a babe," Jack agrees, with the kind of warmth he uses to talk about Kitty, too. And he doesn't articulate the first stirrings of real longing for Garcia that he felt this evening. He's not even really acknowledged it to himself, yet.
"She's been going through a rough time because she lost her boyfriend recently - Derek Morgan, from the Defence Force? - so I've been hanging out with her a bit to cheer her up. She's great fun, fantastic sense of humour." He grins. "Almost as much fun to flirt with as you are."
