Fiona nodded, setting the candy aside, and turned back to Jackson. "So, what's the deal with her looks?"

"Nash, could you head out and grab Fiona a cupcake?" Jackson instructed.

Nash, who had been listening with great interest, looked up, slightly incredulous. "Aren't we about to eat dinner? Why a cupcake?"
