"You can sleep on the bed and I'll curl up right here by the fire." Jack said as he grabbed a blanket and began to set it down on the floor.

"Thanks," she said with a nod. She wasn't going to be the martyr and ask if he was sure. She wanted to sleep on a damn bed tonight. She watched him as he set his makeshift bed up, trying not to notice his muscles as he moved.

Jack made himself as comfortable as possible in front of the fire. He lit a small cigar for himself and sighed contently. As much as he was used to roughing it out in the open he enjoyed having a roof over his head. He turned to glance back at Lillian.

She immediately looked away, hoping he hadn't seen her watching him, but she knew he had. She tried to think of something to say, but her brain had melted a little bit.

Jack cleared his throat and felt a flush rise up on his face. What the hell was wrong with him? She was a girl, just a girl...but she always smelled sweet and she had the prettiest eyes.

She finished unpacking her bags then slowly made her way over to the fireplace, hands in the back pockets of her pants. "Mind if I sit down?" she asked.

"Not at all," He moved over so she could sit on the soft blanket as well.

She sat down, tailor style, next to him. "I have to say this is much better than sleeping outside," she said with a soft chuckle.

"I like it better to even though I'm used to sleeping in the wilderness." He said casually, he glanced at her again and smiled. She looked so beautiful in the firelight.

She turned to look at him, her eyes soft but a bit sad. "Do you think we'll find him soon?"

"I do actually. I think we're hot on the trail," Jack said. "Don't worry, I'll get him."

"Good," she replied in a whisper, turning back to stare at the fire.

Jack watched her for a little while longer and then leaned over to her and kissed her gently on the cheek.

Her cheek burned where his lips had been, and she turned back to look at him again. "Wh-what was that for?"

"Cause..." His cheeks turned reach and he scratched the back of his neck nervously. "Sorry if I overstepped.."
