Jack tried to gather himself, and it was a mighty effort. Chastity was close to fuming when he was finally able to speak. “I’m… I’m sorry, but that was really funny.”
“Well, I’m glad I’m so amusing,” she said sardonically. Jack was breathing normally now, and leaned over to pick up his book, chuckling absently. This didn’t sit well with Chastity, who made a disgusted noise and left the room. Jack considered going after her, but he was no hand with soothing words without sounding stupid, and decided to let her cool off on her own. Besides, there were only a couple of other places in the building she would be; it wouldn’t be hard to find her. With that in mind, he opened his book back to where he’d been interrupted and resumed reading.
