Great thanks. He walks away.

Are you Jane? Jack asks.

Yes may I help you? Jane asks in return.

Yes I’m looking for Tina Kennard’s office. I’m Jack Roam.

Is she expecting you?

No she is not.

Jane buzzes Tina who was in the layout room.

Yes Jane.

Tina there is a gentleman by the name of Jack Roam here to see you.

Oh wow…ok..uhm…Jane tell him I’ll be right out.

Yes Tina.

Jane smiles at the man knowing he heard her. Thank you very much Jane.

You’re welcome.

Tina comes through the double doors. Jack! What are you doing here? Is Tom with you?

No I’m afraid not…they hugged. Jane this is my older brother’s partner.

Oh it nice to meet you.

You too.

Come on in. Did you see Bette?

Yes I just left her office. They go into her office and close the door. Have a seat, can I get you something to drink.

No I’m fine thank you.

So what are you doing down here without my lovable brother?

Jack laughs…Well like I told Bette, two things. One of which Bette has agreed to.

Which is? Tina eyebrows rise…

Being a character witness for Tom and I for the adoption of a child.

What? My big brother wants to be a daddy?

Yes and no…I think maybe I want it more. He’s scared shitless…

Yeah sounds about right. He never seemed to feel comfortable around kids.

Well he will just have to get over it. It was nice that Bette agreed considering the past six months.

Yes but I’m sure she did it more for you than for him.

Maybe. He didn’t want me to ask. I figured he was worried she would say no.

So she proved him wrong yet again. Jack makes a face…Sorry that was uncalled for…So what is my big brother up to these days?

Well that brings me to the second reason I came down here. Tina raises her eyebrow as she listened. He knows about the wedding and sooo wants to be a part of it even if it was something small. But Bette told me you had a proposal for him to look after things at the farm and take the burden off your father. Sort of keep it all running smoothly.
