Jackson pushed their tray to one side when they'd both finished their drinks. "I'm sure the kids will love you." He commented, a genuine compliment as opposed to some sleazy comment. He put his phone back in his jacket pocket, nodding his head at the other. "I might just take you up on that offer." He grinned, thankful that at least someone was being nice to him.<br/><br/>It made him dread going to his next class. He wished Patricia was taking the same course so they could sit together. But getting to know a variety of students would be a good thing, he hoped. As long as he could keep himself distracted he wouldn't be tempted to reply to that apology message he'd received. He would be strong.<br/><br/>"When's good for you?" He finally asked, knowing they'd have to arrange a time and place now as they had no other way of contacting each other.
