For the second straight night, Diane made dinner for them. This time she kept it simple: steak and fries. And this time Jack was smart enough not to mix business with food; he made no mention of their mission. When dinner was finished Jack cleared off the table, did the dishes, and took out the trash. He lingered outside by the curb, thinking. What exactly should he do when he went back inside? He hardly knew this girl, and yet he was living with her. He had met her just two days ago, and yet he loved her. As he went back inside he knew only this: they had to talk. Yesterday was a start, but then they backed off. Tonight, they had to do some serious talking, no matter how uncomfortable it might get.
