Re: Kyle + Jade
"I don't know, Jen. From where I'm standing that old line seems to have done me pretty well", he mused. It was not his habit to reach out and touch her by any means-especially when Todd was around-but he did so now with an arm around her shoulder, which he figured was friendly enough as he sort of walked her through her own pieces.
"Well look, I'd love to give you my personal opinion on each and every little thing you have up on here on display, but being as how this is your shining hour I'll sate myself with this small taste of your presence until later, alright?"
Really, he did not want to get rid of her, but he could tell without looking that they were being watched. And as he was uncertain as to whom her teachers might be, he did not want to distract her from everything else that was going on. If he could see her later, that would be more than enough.
