You have nothing to fear from me. Now, why don't you go ahead and watch some tv while I finish up everything here."
Jack smiled and headed to the living room. Grabbing the tv remote control from the side table, he comfortably seated himself on the couch and waited for Joanna to bring over the cake that they had just baked. This was going to be perfect afternoon.
