Check.  Great smile?  Check.  Big, natural chest? Check and mate.<br/><br/>When she stopped for a moment to gape at the setting for their date, JJ laughed softly.  Sure, he wasn’t the first thing she looked at but he sincerely didn’t blame her.  In fact, her appreciation of the surroundings ticked a box that he wasn’t even aware of.  Ability to appreciate classy, tasteful ambience?  Check.  To be fair to Rhonda, perhaps she would check the same box, but his date with her was crafted to be completely different.<br/><br/>Once Cassie had internalized it all, her attention turned to him… and her reaction made him smile.  He saw the initial flare of appreciative surprise when she saw him.  Could swear that he saw her visibly capture her composure and rein it in.  She was too far away for him to be sure, but she seemed to have given him a not-entirely-subtle once over.  Good.  Very good.  His smile broadened and he walked over to meet her halfway between the car and the dinner table.<br/><br/>When JJ approached, his warm hands enveloped hers and he gave her a European kiss to each cheek, his eyes sparkling with attraction and amusement.<br/><br/><strong>“And I didn’t think this place could get any more beautiful.”</strong><br/><br/>He offered her an arm.<br/><br/><strong>“Shall we?”</strong><br/>
