The Roof, Late Sunday Evening

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Deciding that the evening was nice enough for an outdoor picnic, John had a blanket laid out on the roof decorated with turkey sandwiches, bags of Cheetos, and cans of terrible beer he'd smuggled up from his room. There was even a chunk of chocolate cake waiting next to the basket. This was his idea of a picnic, and he thought he'd done an okay job of gathering things and setting up.

Despite knowing in advance that Jaina intended to bid on and win his basket, John was still a little surprised by how she'd accomplished her goal.

And part of him still wondered what would have happened if she'd lost.

[John's there for the girl who won him, but the roof is open.]
