Jenny, Connor and Abby are on their way back to the arc. Abby and Connor go to the ADD to check if a new anomaly shows up. Jenny is on her way right to Cutters office. When she finally reached his door she stood in the doorframe and watched him. Nick was still busy with the model for the anomaly prediction. He didn't notice that jenny watched him with a smile on her face. After some minutes jenny decided to clearing her throat so that cutter would notice her. He looked up and saw Jenny standing there in all her beauty. He tried really hard not to look at her that way but he couldn't help. He was in love with her even when this confession to himself made him feel like he betrayed Claudia. But whenever that happen he thought about the fact that there is nothing he can do about it he has to accept life the way it is now. The only thing that bothered him at the moment was that he wasn't sure about Jenny. He didn't know what she was feeling or feeling not for him. He never could made the first move because he was sure he wouldn't survive another broken heart. As much as Nick thought about her Jenny also thought about him. She wasn't sure if there ever was a possibility that they could have a romantic relationship. The biggest obstacle for her was the "Claudia Brown" thing. How could she be sure that he likes her for her and not because of the fact that she was once Claudia and because she looks like her according to Cutter. After all this time now she still wasn't sure if she should believe that or not.
After a long moment of just staring at each other it was Jenny who comes to sense and says: "So you really were right. The anomaly opened." Nick gives her a baffled look and says: "Well, I guess that must mean that you doubted me. Now I am really a bit offended." Then Jenny was a trifle bemused and babbles around with shame in her voice because the last thing she wanted to do was to offend him or doubt his predications and his aptitudes. "EH, UM, Cutter that sounded not the way it should be. I come here to congratulate you to your prediction." Cutter was really amused to see her confused. "It is ok Jenny. I wasn't even sure that it really would work out that well for the first time. Now this is really a great development. We know where they will appear and hopefully soon when they appear." " Cutter I am sure that you will be able to do that. It might will take a while but it will work." she said and looked right into his blue eyes. Their eyes met and for a moment there was silence. They both seemed to forget where they were and it looked like they were caught in this moment. It was Jenny who gain control of herself at first. "I will leave you with your work Cutter." she said and turned around heading to her own office.
The moment she turned around she already regretted that. There were so many questions and so many unsaid words between them and there is a chemistry. Also there is an affection she feels for Cutter which she can't deny any more. But what should she do? Run into his office again and kiss him to see how he reacts. No not really that wasn't her. She already asked him for drink and he rejected her. She won't beg she told herself. What was wrong with this man. She couldn't tell. She decided to go back to his office and then yeah what then Jennifer she asked herself. She had no idea. She went into her office and started to go on with her own work.
Cutter wasn't able go on with his work since Jenny visited him. He couldn't concentrate anymore. He couldn't get her out his mind and it wasn't just because she looked like Claudia. He decided that he needs a coffee and starts to walk into the arc kitchen. On his way to the kitchen he had to pass by Jenny's office. He knocks at her door and he heard her voice. "come in" she says. Cutter goes in and says: "Does your offer for that " he was cut off by the alert. Cutter, Jenny, Abby, Conner, Sarah and Becker went to the anomaly. This time the anomaly was near a forest. The arc team was too late. About 2 Ornithomimosarias were already come through the anomaly at the moment when the team arrived. This were really big birds and they looked like big ostrich. Cutter said:" Becker you will stay here with Sarah and watch the anomaly. Connor and Abby you will follow the one bird through the fields and try to anesthetize it. Jenny and I will take the one who went deeper into the forest."
It didn't took a long time till Jenny and Cutter lost sight of the creature. To crown it all it starts to rain. But they are lucky because they found a gazebo where they could stand under in avoidance of getting wetter. The weather was miserable and it also started to thundering. Thunderbolts and booms surrounded the small gazebo. Jenny felt a bit anxious and stepped further closer to Cutter. " I never liked thunderstorms. They are way too loud and too dangerous." Cutter makes a step forward and opens his arms. With a covert glance and a grin on his face he said: " Well, Miss Lewis I can offer you protection if you want." Jenny raises an eyebrow and says while she leaning into his embrace: " Don't get any wrong ideas, Cutter. This is just happen because of the Thunderstorm." "Hmm, of course. I would never think something else." Jenny relaxed in his arms because she really felt save with him. Then they both start to laugh because this must have been looking really silly from the outside. Two adults are shrugging every time they hear the thunder.
10 minutes later the thunder was still powerful as it was before. Jenny's head rests on Cutter shoulder and he holds her in his arms. But either Jenny nor Cutter could complain they both enjoyed the embracement. Neither of them wanted to let go of the other one. It was Jenny who loosen the embracement and before Cutter was capable of saying or doing something he felt her lips on his own and they shared a soft and tender long kiss. They didn't know how long they were standing there like this. But as Cutters phone rang they immediately stop as if they were caught by doing something forbidden. It was Becker on the other line and he asked Cutter where he and Jenny are and that they were able to caught the creatures and that they are also back through the anomaly and that it closed. Cutter told Becker then that he and Jenny are on their way back to the car and hung up. Jenny and Cutter were both embarrassed and didn't spoke a word on their way back to the car. It was an awkward situation for both of them. They were visibly relieved when they reached the car because now they could talk to the others. The whole team got into the car and drove back to the arc.
