After riding all day, Jack Jr. was tired and didn't want to go on his date with Violet. But being a man of his word, he wouldn't cancel. Jack Jr. put on a three piece suit. He hated three piece suits because it reminded him of his stepfather. But Violet seemed like a woman who would want her date to dress in a three piece. As he was tying his tie, Katherine's words were echoing in his head. She'll devour you. Was Katherine right? Was he changing himself? Jack Jr. shook the thought out of his head and put on his coat.

Lee gave him his keys and told Jack Jr. how to get to Violet's house. Violet's house was only a few minutes away from the Coulter's. Jack Jr. drove to Violet's house. He got out of the car and went to the door. He knocked. Violet answered the door. She was wearing a black dress with a coat over it. Her black hair was up. She was wearing an expensive necklace around her neck. Jack Jr. thought she looked pretty.

"You look pretty" Jack Jr. said to Violet

"You don't look so bad yourself" Violet said to Jack Jr.

Jack Jr. blushed. He escorted Violet to the car. He opened the passenger seat door for her. He got on the driver's side. As they drove, they talked, mostly about Violet. She pointed out who she knew in which houses and which restaurants are her favorite. Violet did not ask about their horseback riding. Jack Jr. found a spot right in front of the theater. He got out and opened up the door for Violet.

They made their way to the ticket box and Jack Jr. paid for two tickets. They entered the theater lobby and the smell of popcorn made Jack Jr.

"Did you want me to get some popcorn or candy for you?" Jack Jr. asked

Violet laughed. "No, I don't eat that kind of stuff. It isn't good for you"

"I'll take some popcorn" said a voice behind Jack Jr. It was Katherine.

"Kate?" Jack Jr. said confusingly

"Hello Jack. Hello Violet" Katherine said to both of them.

"Katherine. Darling, what are you doing here?" Violet asked

"Jack mentioned that you were going to see Casablanca tonight and I thought it would be fun to see it by myself." Katherine answered Violet. Katherine gave Jack Jr. a wink. Jack Jr. tried to contain his laugher. He was glad that Katherine was here. Jack Jr. didn't know if he was able to get through this date.

"Jack, I'm going to go find us a seat. Come find me when you have finished getting your little snacks" Violet said and walked away.

"Kate, what are you doing here?" Jack Jr. asked Katherine.

"I'm here to save you from getting devoured. But maybe I'm a little late" Katherine said looking at his 3 piece suit.

Jack Jr. looked down at his clothes. She was right. He would never have dressed like this for a date with Maggie.

"Don't leave me alone." Jack Jr. said with puppy eyes

Katherine laughed "I won't, only on one condition. You share your popcorn and buy me some Whoppers." Katherine said

Jack Jr. laughed "You like Whoppers? So do I. You got a deal."

Jack Jr. bought the popcorn and Whoppers and they both walked into the theater. Jack Jr. saw Violet sitting in the middle of theater. Violet saw them coming over and had a confused look on her face.

"I asked Kate to sit with us, if that is okay?" Jack Jr. asked

"I suppose so." Violet said with an annoyed tone.

Jack Jr. sat in the middle between the two women. Violet put her arm around Jack Jr. and began to scratch the back of his neck. Jack Jr. smiled at Violet. Katherine saw what she was doing and started giggling. Jack Jr. looked at Katherine and gave her an awkward smile.

Once the movie started, Violet stopped scratching his neck. Sometime during the movie, he was eating popcorn and he put his hand in the bag. At the exact same time, Katherine put her hand in the bag. Their hands only touched for a few seconds but it was electrifying. Katherine mouthed sorry. Jack Jr. mouthed its okay back. As the movie was ending, Jack Jr. looked over at Violet who was looking in a small mirror doing her make-up. Jack Jr. rolled his eyes. Jack Jr. looked over to Katherine who had tears rolling down her face. They were at the part where Lisa is getting on the plane and taking off. Jack Jr. handed Katherine a handkerchief.

The movie ended and they all walked out together.

"That movie always makes me cry" Katherine told Jack Jr. and Violet.

"Yes. I was bored to tears" Violet said.

Jack Jr. and Katherine looked at each other. Katherine rolled her eyes.

"I'm going to go home now. Thank you for letting me sit with you two" Katherine said waving goodbye

Jack Jr. waved goodbye.

"Would you like to get a night cap?" Violet asked

"Actually, I'm really tired from riding today. Do you mind if we retire early?" Jack Jr. asked

Violet huffed "I suppose so"

There was complete silence while Jack Jr. was driving Violet home.

Once they stopped in front of Violet's house, Jack Jr. asked Violet a question.

"Why did you want to go out with me? Jack Jr. asked

"I thought we would have a lot in common. We are both from the same worlds." Violet answered

"What do you mean?" Jack Jr. asked

"I grew up in Hamilton just like your mother. My family know the Thatcher's and the Bouchard's. We are both wealthy families. My family made our wealth from oil" Violet said

"My stepfather was rich, I am not" Jack Jr. said

"He must have left you a large inheritance or so we all heard" Violet asked

"He did. But I'm going to donate it to charity. I want nothing to do with his money" Jack Jr. said

Violet was amused by this. "You and I come from the same world. You may not think so, but your stepfather adopted you and you were once a Bouchard, which makes you from my world." Violet said

Jack Jr. was silent for a moment. He composed himself.

"Let me walk you to the door" Jack Jr. said

Jack Jr. opened the door for Violet and walked her up to the door.

"I hope we can do this again sometime." Violet said. She bent over to his ear and whispered.

"Maybe we can do this again, but much more privately" Violet whispered in his ear. She gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Jack Jr. didn't say anything. Once she was inside. Jack Jr. got in his car and drove off.

Jack Jr. got home and walked through the front door. He went to the kitchen. He got a glass of water and loosened his tie. His mother was in the living room writing in her journal.

"How was your date" Elizabeth asked

"Terrible" Jack Jr. answered

Elizabeth closed her journal.

"What happened?" Elizabeth asked

Jack Jr. sat down in a chair.

"Let's just say we are from two different worlds." Jack Jr. answered

"Well, your father and I were from different worlds and so were you and Maggie" Elizabeth said

"I know that. She grew up in Hamilton. Violet Collins" Jack Jr. said

Elizabeth thought for a moment. "Collins. Yes. Our families do know each other" Elizabeth said

"We just have different personalities" Jack Jr. said getting up from his chair

"Not like you and Katherine" Elizabeth said

Jack Jr. stood still.

Jack, sit down" Elizabeth told him.

Jack Jr. sat down in the chair. "We are just friends" Jack Jr told his mother.

"Don't give me that. I know you better than that. The way you were looking at her today was the way you used to look at Maggie." Elizabeth said

"We are just friends, just like you and Nathan" Jack Jr. said

"First of all, Nathan and I are not just friends anymore. We have decided to explore our feelings for each other. Second, Nathan is a widower and I am a widow, which means we are unattached to anyone. Katherine is still married. Her husband may be missing but he has not been declared deceased. And it looks like she still has hope that her husband will come home." Elizabeth said

Jack Jr. sat there in silence.

"She'll likely be holding out for him the rest of her life. I know I would if there was a chance of father still being alive. I'm not trying to be mean but I don't want you to develop feelings for her because you'll be disappointed. What I'm trying to say that there is more than one way to have an affair than just being physical. You two may just be friends but other people won't see it that way. You don't want to ruin her reputation. And you don't want her to get confused with her feelings. Do you understand me?" Elizabeth asked Jack Jr.

Jack Jr. nodded his head. "We are just friends"

"I hope so." Elizabeth said

Jack Jr. got up and kissed his mother on her head. "We are just friends. I'm exhausted. I'm going to bed"

"Okay. I'll be right behind you" Elizabeth said

They said goodnight to each other and Jack Jr. went upstairs. He saw Sophie's door cracked. He went inside and put the blanket over her and kissed her head. As he was getting ready for bed, he thought about what his mother had said. She was right. As great as Katherine may be, she was still married. He will make sure that they remain only friends. Jack Jr. thought about the word. How can you be friends with someone who just by touch makes your heart race? Before Jack Jr. went to sleep, he said his prayers for everyone including Andrew Guff. And for the first one, he included himself in those prayers.
