Circumstances Scene 177

“Shut up,” Chastity murmured as she walked with him. “I don’t see you having any great ideas.”
Jack’s smirk remained. “I’m just such a thoughtless, boring person.”
“You are,” Chastity agreed, and took the lead coming out of the store. “I’m surprised you’ve survived this long.”
Jack chuckled. “Maybe there’s a method to my madness, or lack thereof.”
“You better hope so or you’re going to be in a lot of trouble later on,” she warned.
“Oh, har, har,” Jack muttered and shook his head.
Chastity giggled and bumped against him. “At least you’re cute; that’ll get you somewhere.”
Jack blushed a deep crimson and grinned like a fool for a moment. He was completely unused to girls—particularly pretty girls like Chastity—complimenting him like that. “Thanks,” he said. “You’re pretty cute yourself.”
