Arthur studied Jack's now flushed and energetic demeanor. "Good," he muttered, nodding in satisfaction. "You look like someone about to have... let's call it an intense conversation with a big star."
Arthur didn't mention that Jack's current appearance might not exactly match the taste of someone like Kerry. Still, he figured if anyone questioned it, he'd just make an excuse about Kerry being in a particularly quirky mood lately.
