Chapter Eight Approval

Jack and Katherine grabbed a taxi and went to a Tiffany's to get the engagement ring a few minutes after they left the bookstore.

"I sure hope you can afford this place Jackie," Katherine said when they walked inside.

"I've got some money besides the rent Kat," Jack said, looking at the display cases. "I was thinking of getting a colored stone instead of just a diamond."

"You think Karen would like that?" Katherine asked doubtfully.

Jack didn't answer, but went up to a salesperson and asked, "Do you have any colored gem engagement rings?"

"This way sir," the man said, walking deeper into the store.

Katherine followed Jack and the salesperson, but at a slower pace, looking at all the jewelry.

"We have a limited selection of gemstone engagement rings," the salesperson said, stopping in front of a display case. "They aren't that popular."

Jack nodded absentmindedly, already looking at the rings. After a couple of minutes, he stopped and said, "Hey Kat, come here, I found it."

Katherine hurried over and looked down at the ring Jack pointed to. "Well it is pretty, I'll give you that," she said.

"Are you kidding?" Jack said, looking at her in surprise. "It's perfect."

The ring that had caught his eye was a medium sized sapphire cut in a circular shape. Next to the dark blue stone, on each side of it, were small diamonds. The band of the ring itself was silver.

"Hey miss," Jack said to the person standing behind the display case. "I want to get this ring."

The woman walked over to them and said, "This ring is two thousand five

hundred and seventy two dollars sir. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

"Yes," Jack said firmly.

"So where are you going to hide that while you're moving?" Katherine asked as they rode in a cab to the psychiatrists office where she had an appointment.

"I was going to ask if you could keep it at your apartment until Christmas Eve," Jack said.

"That won't be a problem," Katherine said, taking the small velvet covered box and putting it into her purse. Just then the cab stopped and Katherine turned to Jack. "You should go and talk with Will when you get back to your place."

"But I wanted to start packing," Jack whined.

"When I come back from getting Amber, I'll bring some boxes and help you pack," Katherine said.

Jack sighed heavily and said, "All right, I guess I should talk to him."

"Good boy Jack," Katherine said. "I'll see you later." She then got out of the cab and walked into the building where her psychiatrist was.

"Where to now buddy?" the cab driver asked.

"One fifty five Riverside," Jack said.

Twenty minutes later, the cab stopped in front of the apartment building and Jack paid the driver and then went up to Will and Grace's apartment.

Will was watching tv when there was a knock on the door to the apartment. "Come in," he called.

"Hi Will," Jack said hesitantly, coming inside.

"Hey," Will said, turning off the tv and walking over to Jack. "I guess we need to talk huh?"

"Yeah," Jack said.

"Okay, let me go first," Will said. "First off I want you to know that I was so upset this morning for two reasons. One was the fact that ever since I met you, you've been pretty set in your ways as a gay man."

"You've got that right," Jack said. "I was so sure that I preferred only men, that I almost missed out on what was right in front of me." There was

silence for a moment. "And by that I mean Karen."

"I know Jack," Will said exasperatingly. "Anyway, I just get the feeling that you're turning your back on everything you stood for in the past."

Jack sighed and said, "I should let you know that I've decided that I'm

pretty much bisexual now. I mean, god knows I'll always think Ben Affleck is a hottie, but compared to Karen, he falls short of the line."

"What ever you think's attractive Jack," Will said. "And the second reason I was upset was because it was Karen you got together with. But like I just said, 'to each his own.' And so, after a lot of thinking and some scolding from Grace, I've resolved to give you and Karen my blessing."

"Really?" Jack asked, completely surprised.

"As long as you're happy Jack," Will said, smiling.

"Thank you, thank you!" Jack said, giving Will a hug. "Wait, did Grace

tell you I'm moving-"

"Into Karen's penthouse, yeah she did," Will said. "And I'm just fine with that." He walked over to the kitchen and got a soda. "By the way Jack. Did you talk to anyone about this when you first decided you had feelings for Karen? Or did you just keep everything to yourself?"

"Kat gave me some advise," Jack said. "But mostly I decided things on my own."

"So Kat knows?" Will asked.

"Yep," Jack said. "Oh, I better go and get ready to pack up my stuff."

"Need any help?" Will asked.

"It's okay, Kat said she's going to help me out," Jack said.

"Oh, okay then," Will said. "Well, have fun Jack."

"Thanks again for giving us the okay Will," Jack said before he left the apartment.
