Barnes & Noble in Alexandria, Saturday Afternoon (NFB due to distance)

[swerval_zero]

As the group entered the store, they were greeted by a crowd of women, all waiting to meet Angelica Demesnes. Large tables held copies of all her books for those who hadn't brought their own, including the brand-new Crown Diamond. Zero gleefully snatched up a copy of her very own.

"Thank you very much." Jack briefly debated asking her about the scene with the cabana boy, eyed the margarita, and thought better of it. He could always write her a letter. "If you need someone with a lot of practical experience and expertise as a consultant for your next book, I'd be more than happy to offer my services."

Angelica eyed him thoughtfully. "You seem a little...young for that."

"Only in years. Not in experience. Trust me." He walked his fingers across the table and trailed two of them down her hand, his smile going from charming to something a lot more suggestive. "I coud supply references, if you like."

"I'm sure you could, but I don't particularly fancy getting sued again, Jack. Call me when you're legal."

Jack knew when to cut his losses. "Okay. Thanks for the books, I appreciate it." As he turned to go, he couldn't quite resist turning back and saying, "That bit with the two musicians and the dancing girl? That only works if the one with the reins is on the outside," before skittering off, laughing to himself.

Angelica made a note about that on the pad she'd brought with her, then signalled poor Joan, who called out, "Next!"
