"Of course, I'll whip up some for you when we're back," Jackson responded, ever willing to cater to Fiona's whims without a second thought.

"Jackson, I'd like to..." Nash started to say, but a sudden chill ran up his spine, cutting him off. Feeling uneasy, he quickly backtracked, "Actually, Jackson, something's come up for me that day. Can't make it."

It was almost comical.
