Re: Somewhere around 8:30-ish near the door
Finally. Finally. A smile that was somewhere between relieved and elated crossed Jack's face. Now he could finally just talk to Kami, try to atone for what he'd done to deserve her hatred and anger. Try to prove he wasn't the jerk she believed he was. Try to win her back into his life.
"Thank you, Kami," he managed. "I promise I'll let it go after this. I promise." Putting his hat back on, he nodded once more to the other girl by way of apology, then gingerly took Kami's hand and led her out onto the dancefloor.
This was his only shot at atonement. He was going to make it a good one.
