Jennette and Kane were left alone at the table when August and Cosette left to get drinks.
"What do you think?" Kane asked Jen. She averted her eyes away from the backside of August.
"He has a better butt than you, that much I know for sure" she teased, putting her elbows onto the table and setting her head down onto her hands.
"You sound like a star struck school girl" Kane laughed. Jennette gave him an annoyed look before returning to her normal soft sighed expression.
"First hot guy I've seen in the last 3 weeks. Give me a break. You aren't exactly acting like you're disinterested either lover boy" she retorted. Kane put his empty beer bottle into the middle of the table, along with the rest of the empty drinks. He put the short drinks together, and the beer bottles together. He didn't like the table looking disorderly.
"I got your point. But remember -" he was cut off by Jen rolling her eyes.
"Don't get attached or think anything of it. You may be older than be, but we've been doing this for a long time. I know the rules" Jen quickly said before wishing she had a drink to swig her words back with. "Don't you ever wish to stop what we're doing, and just live a normal life. I could actually become a culinary student. You could pursue music" she thought aloud. Kane gave her a weary glare.
"You know what I wish. Stop sounding like a broken down regretful sap" Kane frowned at her.
"Hell, I sound like a sap? You know damn well we're both far from alright" Jen spat back at him. Being together on the road for such a long time makes them weary of each other at times. They love one another unconditionally, but they did need space.
Kane didn't like lying to the people they meet. If only life were easy, and their profession wasn't anything out of the normal, or if demons simply didn't exist. It made him often wonder what other supernatural creatures walked the earth as well. They have never encountered anything like vampires or werewolves. Honestly neither of them would be surprised if they did.
"We're fine Jen. Drinking seemed to loosen your sap strings" Kane sighed. Jen was getting slightly fed up, so she shut her mouth about the subject.
"Where are we going next? We have multiple options, we just need to pick one" Jen changed the subject, asking a more serious question to her friend.
"Head to Maine, run across the border into Canada. Go west until we hit the other end of Canada, and come back down into Washington" he planned effortlessly.
"That's a lot of driving, just to get to Washington"
"We need to avoid the areas we know. Maybe the demon will lose our trail this way" he explained to his friend before she nodded.
"I'll start working on routes and hotels when we get to the motel. Why do I have a feeling I won't be getting much sleep tonight" she mumbled before she saw Cosette and August heading back to the table together. Jen's distressed expression faded into a content smile quickly, and Kane raised his furrowed eyebrows. Their drinks were soon placed in front of them and they thanked the two in unison.
“There you guys go.” Cosette said while her and August sat in their seats with their own drinks in hand. They were all wordless for a few moments as they were taking the first sips of their drinks. Jen raised a brow. The drink was a lot better than she had remembered.
"We can pay our part of the tab. Drinks add up" Kane offered with a grin after his refreshing sip of his summer shandy. Jen held up her drink a proposed a friendly toast
"To New York night clubs and fake I.Ds" she smiled, glancing over to Cosette with a small wink.
