Re: Open
Normally he would not have left so abruptly, and had in fact apologized again to Raven before he disappeared. And it really was nothing against this other guy, but Jack was there with Eve. 'Going solo' or not, he was not going to leave her on her own if she did not want him to.
Draining his drink so quickly he momentarily got brain freeze, he set the empty glass back down on the bar counter.
Jack held out a hand, interrupting Eve's conversation with the strange guy as politely as he could. "Excuse me," he nodded to the stranger. "Eve, do you want to dance? I can't promise not to step on your feet, but I'm not too horrible." The grin he shot her was as open as ever, because despite the somewhat mocked up excuse to get her away from the bar, his smile was not remotely fake.
