Thomasina had said, "Your father wants for you a living death, to brick you into a wall with someone who loves you - who you can't stand the sight of... until you produce an heir, which Silas will take, and raise right this time

Ann will be around the hallways, carrying a stack of various magazines. Of course she may not look where she's going and bump into the newcomer...

[true_n_the_dark]

Bumping indeed happens, and Jack essentially barks at her.

"It's not hard to look where you're going."

Meanwhile Ann is trying to pick up all the magazines she dropped.

"Listen, I'm really fucking sorry. I must have been too distracted."

[true_n_the_dark]

"You look it."

He happens to have stepped on one of the magazines, unintentionally.

He however makes no attempt to move.

And she soon notices that...

"Hey if you don't mind..." Ann trails off, pointing at his feet.

[true_n_the_dark]

"Heh." Jack looks down, seems about to do nothing, then slowly picks it up and gives it to her. "Now, good day."

He's making an effort to be polite.

It's quite taxing.

[4am_dreamer]

We see that.

"Ok... pardon me asking who's the dude I bumped into?"

[true_n_the_dark]

"A man you bumped into," Jack replies.

He'll try to go on his way.

Let's FTB, feel free to send her or anyone else at the new open post?

[4am_dreamer]

She lets him, but frowns on the way.

What an ass.

Sure!
