It was a slow day at Jungle Karma. Fran was sitting at the counter, her nose buried in a book. RJ was in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, occasionally talking to himself loudly enough for his employees to hear.
Camille, who was sitting at a booth, watched the ghost town that had once been JKP. She was bored. As the young woman with the chameleon spirit turned away from her coworkers, her deep brown gaze fell on Jarrod, who was refilling a napkin dispenser at another table.
As the lion finished this task, he looked over at Camille. A smile crossed his face as he took in his girlfriend's familiar form. Jarrod approached Camille's booth and slid onto the bench opposite hers. "Hey."
Camille propped her chin on the palm of her hand. "Hey. Are you bored, too?"
Jarrod nodded. "I'm so bored. How much longer is our shift?" He looked up at the clock and let out a groan.
RJ came out of the back room, carrying a small radio with big red splatters on it. "My pizza exploded all over the kitchen," he explained as he got three curious looks from his employees. He picked up a clean towel and wiped off the radio. The wolf ranger then turned the radio on and smiled in triumph as a tune emitted from the radio's speakers.
The Pai Zhuq master put the radio down again. "I'm going to go clean up the kitchen." Fran hopped down from her perch on the stool and went to help her boss.
The song faded out and was replaced by the DJ's voice. "This is Tanya Sloan-Park at KBLUFF, playing all the hits. Here's the new one from Jason Mraz, 'I'm Yours.'"
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
"He's got the right idea," Jarrod said as the song continued to play. The lion took the chameleon's hands in his. "I don't know how to say this without sounding like an idiot, but Camille, I…"
She smiled. "I already know."
