Library - (10/3)

Mocha in hand, Isabel opened the library right on time. She settled in behind the counter, booted up the computer and started running through the political news so she'd be ready for tomorrow's Campaigning class.

"The universe isn't going to know what hit it." Jack waggled his eyebrows at her and smirked. "I think it is. He's got no reason to hurt me, and all he's done so far is try and keep me safe." He was almost bouncing with excitiement. "And I'll only be gone a few days."

"It's not that I don't trust him. It's the rest of the big scary things out there that I worry about. But knowing you, you'd charm your way out," she grinned. "A few days? Will you miss Homecoming?"

"Absolutely not," Jack replied, shaking his head. "No way I'm missing taking Sam and Cedric, and I've been promised many dances from beautiful people," he grinned and touched the back of her hand, "and I intend to collect on them."

"That's good," Isabel grinned. "I know my dance card is pretty full. Luke has promised me a dance and I'm sure I'll drag Cedric out for one. And maybe even Bel. Hopefully we'll see each other at some point."

Resting his elbows on the counter, Jack leaned forward and looked up at Isabel, eyes sad. "You aren't going to save me a dance?"

"I suppose I can try to fit you in," she sighed with resignation.

"I wouldn't want to impose..." he said mournfully, but his eyes were twinkling.

"I suppose I can suffer through a dance with you," Isabel smirked. "I wouldn't want you to be broken hearted. I bet you'd have a hard time explaining that to Sam and Cedric."

"That you broke my heart?" he asked, abandoning pretence and just grinning at her. "It's very fragile, you know."

"Sure, fragile. You keep believing that," she chuckled. "I will save you a dance so you'd better be back in time. And in one piece."

He held his hands up. "I already promised Cedric: one piece, and not bruised or in pain. And I won't be late. Especially not if you're going to dance with me."

"Good. I'm holding you to it." Isabel walked out from behind the counter and opened her arms. "Do I get a hug before you leave?"

"Just try and stop me." Jack wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. "I'm going to miss you," he said into her hair.

"Back at you," she said, squeezing him before pulling back to kiss his cheek. "Stay out of trouble and hurry back!"

"I will, I promise." Jack touched her cheek and smiled. "Stay safe, okay?"

"I'm supposed to be telling you that. Take care Jack. I'll miss you."

"Of course you will," he laughed. "And I promise." He stepped closer and kissed her forehead then straightened. "Now I have to go and see the Doctor, and try and explain why I'm going to be missing his class on Friday."

"Given some of what he's said, I'm sure he'll understand your quest for adventure." Reaching out she gave him one last squeeze and whispered a quick "love you" into his ear before letting go and heading back around the counter.

Jack's smile was blinding. "I'll never get tired of hearing that," he told her and then headed out the door with a distinct bounce in his step.

Isabel smiled as she watched him leave. And despite his words, she could help but worry just a little bit.
