Spotted. Little J and Nate Archibald making a break from prison, or should I say, The Humphrey Residence? What are these young lovers up to? And Why is Little J holding soo much luggage? What is there to run from, a homely apartment? Or perhaps there's trouble in the family. Did Nate upset the balance, shake things up in The Perfect Humphrey Family, the most perfect of the poors. Only time can tell if this will settle in cahoots.

"Psst. Nate!" Jenny bent over, peeping from behind the office door. He grinned back, reaching into a blazer. He slipped out a roll of bills and stuffed them into his pocket and winked.
"I don't know about this Nate, he might find out."
"Don't worry Jenny. My dad won't be home...for a while. I'll repay him way before he gets back" he kissed her forehead. Coaxing her towards the door, he slid his arm around her hip. The maid nodded in acknowledgment. They slipped fluidly into the escalator. The doors closed and the floor jutted down an inch. Nate slipped out the bills and counted.
"Is $2300 good enough?"
Her jaw dropped, "Way too much Nate, way too much. Nn-noo. I can't borrow that much....I don't even need that much."
"It doesn't matter, it's just incase you need that much--"
"Bu-bbut I don't."
"Jenny, it's fine. Calm down" he placed his hands on her shoulders "the rest I was thinking of using for...for whatever" the escalator stopped, a buzz clarifying the ground floor. He sighed, dropping his arms from her shoulders. "I'll see you at 7:30?" He raised an eyebrow, leaned in then skimmed his lips across her lips. He stalked out to the lobby. She turned after him.
"Nate, wait!" her arm raised, grazing his shoulder blade. He spun around with a smile. She bit her lip and teetered, heel toe, heel toe. "I was thinking maybe we could hang out today, maybe find me a place to stay?"
He stepped towards her "I've already got it covered, you're staying in a suite at The Bass Hotel" she grinned uneasy, the thought of staying in someplace owned by a guy who once tried to seduce her wasn't very enticing.
"Nate, he tried to do stuff to me...before. I don't think I can stay, anywhere...anywhere near someone who tried to...tempt me like that."
In reaction he pulled her close and placed his nose on her neck "Nobody" he kissed her "will ever" he drew her hair back farther "do that to you" he kissed her again "ever again" he drew his head back "not even Chuck" looking into her eyes.
She sighed with relief and glanced down at her interlocked hands. He lifted her chin with his curled finger "I promise" and kissed her on the lips. A dreamy grin slid across his face. He turned around and strutted down the stares. Out the lobby without looking back again.
