Kim walks into the bar holding a photo album against her chest. She glances up in surprise, expecting to walk into her bedroom, but doesn't stop walking.
She sits down at the bar and places the photo album gently on Bar's surface. She opens to a page and removes one of the pictures.
In the photo, an older man and woman sit near a Christmas

Jack spots Kim across the bar, and for a moment he has to wonder if she should approach. She doesn't look like she's in the best mood, and this isn't likely to improve things any. Then again, someone's bound to tell her about this at some point.

Walking over, he takes a seat on the barstool next to her. "Hey, Kim. What photos are you looking at?" he asks, as though there was absolutely nothing odd going on.

Kim turns to look at the woman that's sat next to her.

She puts down the picture and tries to figure out how this woman knows her name. In some ways, she resembles pictures Kim's seen of her Grandma, but, she knows her Grandma's never been in the bar. Still, it's possible she's wrong.

"Grandma?"

Oh hell, he should have realized that's the conclusion she would come to, as he'd noticed the resemblance in the mirror.

"No, Kim, it's your Dad," he says with a bit of a sigh. "Don't eat the breath mints on the bar, by the way."

She stares for a moment and reaches out to touch the woman's arm, relaxing slightly when there's no change.

At least it's not a trick of some sort.

"Uh, Dad, you look...different." She stifles a grin.

Kim knows he's there but her first instinct is to hug him and she knows he won't respond well to her relief at seeing him in the bar.

"Hi," she says softly, still looking at the picture.

She breathes out and her grip creases the picture slightly.

"Someone I trusted and someone else that will never forgive me."
