Jack's mouth stood open in horror and Lauren was shaking in fear. Stanley Roper stood next to the driver's side of the car, his cold, hard gaze set on the two of them. Jack gulped and finally got up the courage to speak.
"M...Mr. Roper...W...we were just...uh.." Great job Tripper! Jack thought to himself.
Lauren looked up innocently. "Mr. Roper, I just found out that one of my favorite horses died today and Jack was just being a good friend and comforting me." Jack squeezed her hand in support. Roper merely huffed in disbelief.
"I've got my eye on you two." He said grimly, shaking his fist at them.
They nodded and took off upstairs. By the time they made it to 201, they were both laughing like school children. Jack took Lauren in his arms and ran his fingers through her hair. "We have a problem." Jack whispered.
Lauren looked at him with fear. "What's that!" She asked.
"I'm falling in love with you." He said with a grin.
"I oughta!" She scolded him playfully as she smiled back.
He pulled her closer to him, his lips inches from hers. He smiled and nuzzled her nose tenderly before pulling her in for a heartfelt kiss. She sighed happily and let her fingers explore his hair. They heard footsteps and pulled away just in time to see Janet coming through the door.
"Hi guys!" She greeted them. "I just finished shopping for groceries"
"Great, Thanks Janet!" Jack said happily as he and Lauren went over to help her with the bags.
The three of them put away the groceries and sat down in the den to rest. Jack was very anxious. He wanted to be with Lauren, but they didn't want Janet to know about them yet. "I need to go do my laundry." Lauren suddenly announced. "Jack, would you drive me?" She asked, giving him a wink. "Sure!" He answered eagerly. Janet eyed them suspiciously. "Have fun." She said sarcastically, without a clue as to what was going on.

Lauren and Jack made it down the stairs to Jack's car. "Beagle?" Jack asked as he kissed her cheek.
"Beagle." She replied as she kissed his nose.
